Well, as the values are actually used from the cached local structure
all the way to the "enable" function, I suspect it won't break the core
behavior. And making sure that this clock is not enabled before Linux is
run makes this change work.

But I admit it is somehow weird, as a workaround :-\

Yes, I'll do this.

This is not safer than what I proposed hereunder.

So, I remove this change in the v4 and send you a v5 that reverts this
modification and adds a WARN_ON the condition, to ease debugging...
