Maybe I do not understand what you mean here, but I think there is
something missing in the gate.

clk_get_parent goes down to clk_gate_set_enable_ops.get_parent below...

...but this does not have a get_parent pointer, so clk_get_parent()
for a gate always returns NULL which means that a gate never has
a valid rate.
