The actual fixes are made in the clock drivers, but this seems to be a
common problem in Qualcomm clock drivers.  ...so while this doesn't
actually fix the problem, it hopefully calls enough attention that
someone will know to fix it in the clock driver.

That makes sense, though I think logically it's a separate change.
I'll add it as patch #2 in the series.  It's not as trivial as I would
have thought.  ;-)
