Subject: [PATCH v4 10/10] clk: fix set_rate_range when current rate is out of range

Calling clk_core_set_rate() with core->req_rate is basically a no-op
because of the early bail-out mechanism.

This may leave the clock in inconsistent state if the rate is out the
requested range. Calling clk_core_set_rate() with the closest rate
limit could solve the problem but:
- The underlying determine_rate() callback needs to account for this
  corner case (rounding within the range, if possible)
- if only round_rate() is available, we rely on luck unfortunately.

Fixes: 1c8e600440c7 ("clk: Add rate constraints to clocks")
