Subject: [PATCH v2] clk: imx: composite-8m: fix clock pauses when set_rate would be a no-op

Reconfiguring the clock divider to the exact same value is observed
on an i.MX8MN to often cause a longer than usual clock pause, probably
because the divider restarts counting whenever the register is rewritten.

This issue doesn't show up normally, because the clock framework will
take care to not call set_rate when the clock rate is the same.
However, when we reconfigure an upstream clock, the common code will
call set_rate with the newly calculated rate on all children, e.g.:

  - sai5 is running normally and divides Audio PLL out by 16.
  - Audio PLL rate is increased by 32Hz (glitch-free kdiv change)
  - rates for children are recalculated and rates are set recursively
  - imx8m_clk_composite_divider_set_rate(sai5) is called with
    32/16 = 2Hz more
  - imx8m_clk_composite_divider_set_rate computes same divider as before
  - divider register is written, so it restarts counting from zero and
    MCLK is briefly paused, so instead of e.g. 40ns, MCLK is low for 120ns.

Some external clock consumers can be upset by such unexpected clock pauses,
so let's make sure we only rewrite the divider value when the value to be
written is actually different.
