This doesn't generalise to all of the clocks, as some clocks use set
to disable. Perhaps we could do something like this:

       /* Only reset/enable/unreset if clock is stopped. The LPC clock
on ast2500 has issues otherwise */
       enval = (gate->flags & CLK_GATE_SET_TO_DISABLE) ? 0 : clk;
       regmap_read(gate->map, ASPEED_CLK_STOP_CTRL, &reg);
       if ((reg & clk) == enval) {
               spin_unlock_irqrestore(gate->lock, flags);
               return 0;
       }

I think we should also do this operation under the lock.

Please cc Ryan Chen <ryan_chen@...eedtech.com> so he can confirm that
this workaround is valid, and credit Lei who spent a lot of time
investigating this issue. Perhaps "Root-caused-by".

Cheers,

Joel
