Subject: [PATCH 1/2] clk: Add clk_get_first_to_set_rate

The purpose of this function is to be used along with the notifier
mechanism.

When a parent clock can see its rate externally changed at any moment,
and a driver needs a specific clock rate to function, it can register a
notifier on the parent clock, and call clk_set_rate() on the base clock
to adjust its frequency according to the new parent clock.

This works fine, until the base clock has the CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag
set. In that case, calling clk_set_rate() on the base clock will call
clk_set_rate() on the parent clock, which will trigger the notifier
again, and we're in a loop.

For that reason, we need to register the notifier on the parent clock of
the first ancestor of the base clock that will effectively modify its
rate when clk_set_rate() is called, which we can now obtain with
clk_get_first_to_set_rate().
