Are you suggesting to call ufshcd_vops_setup_clocks() 2 times, one 
before the on/off by ufshcd core driver and one after the on/off? If 
yes, then we also have add 3rd argument clarifying if this is PRE_CHANGE 
or POST_CHANGE.

This is my suggestion:
1. Add 3rd argument to setup_clocks ops to let the vendor callback 
function know if this is called PRE_CHANGE or POST_CHANGE.
2. If #1 is in place, call setup_clocks 2 times, one with PRE_CHANGE 
argument before making any clock changes in core driver, 2nd with 
POST_CHANGE argument after making the clock changes to core driver.

Let me know if this would work or not.

Thanks,
Subhash
