If changing the core framework code to return fail for clk parent/rate assignment,
that means clk assignment in DT will NOT work for i.MX7ULP, then all the clk
rate/parent settings will be done in driver? That will lead to more issues/changes.

It is just because core framework ONLY checks the prepare_count and CLK_SET_PARENT_GATE
flag to determine if the parent switch is allowed, however, during clock tree initialization,
the prepare_count is always 0 but the HW status could be enabled actually, so the core framework
will allow the parent switch while HW status does NOT allow the parent switch, so core framework
will treat the parent switch successfully but HW is actually NOT.

I think we can treat it as platform specific issue, if bootloader can guarantee all peripheral clocks
are disabled before jumping to kernel, then there will be no issue, but we can NOT assume that, so
I have to find some place in early kernel phase to disable those peripheral clocks.

Yes, it is ONLY for composite clocks which are for peripheral clocks, ONLY earlycon
could be impacted but we can add imx_register_uart_clocks() call to make earlycon
also work.

Forcing the clk off and restore them ON for rate/parent change will need to change
common composite clock ops, currently i.MX7ULP all use common ops, so unless
i.MX7ULP implements composite clock ops, and the change will be very significant.

Thanks,
