Must the clock signal be enabled to change the PLL rate? If so, does
ARMPLL set the CLK_SET_RATE_GATE flag?

This unconditionally enables the PLL whenever clk_set_rate is called,
changing the previous behavior. The clk framework still tracks the
intent of ARMPLLs users with the enable_count. How about something like
the following:

	bool pll_en = clk_hw_is_enabled(&pll->hw);

	if (pll_en)
		con1 |= CON0_PCW_CHG;

	writel(con1, pll->base_addr + REG_CON1);
	if (pll->tuner_addr)
		writel(con1 + 1, pll->tuner_addr);

	if (pll_en)
		udelay(20);

This does not rely on the hardware to tell us the intent of the user,
but instead on our framework usecounting.

Regards,
Mike
