If we don't have the rpm clocks registered, the uart clock is an orphan
and when clk_get_rate() is called on orphan clocks it returns 0 as rate.
In our case the msm_serial driver calls clk_get_rate() and gets 0 rate
as the parent rpm clock has not registered yet. The result is that the
baudrate is set incorrectly.
