"Doing it here is not really optimal either, since you'll put a
constraint on the system (maintaining that clock at 300MHz), while
it's not in use."

See above.

Plus, a clock running draws power. It doesn't really make sense to
draw power for something that is unused.

We indeed discussed the clk_rate_exclusive_put. However, you chose to
implement it using a variant structure which really isn't needed.
