Don't these read-mod-writes need a spinlock around it?
It's possible to have an enable bits and dividers in the same register. If you did a set_rate and while doing an enable/disable, there would be a problem. Also, it may be 2 different clocks in the same register, so the spinlock needs to be shared and not per clock.
Well the prepare lock will be held here and I believe that would be sufficient.
No, the enable spinlock is protecting enable/disable. But set_rate is protected by the prepare mutex. So you clearly don't need locking if you have a register of only 1 bit enables. If you have a register accessed by both enable/disable and prepare/unprepare/set_rate, then you need some protection.
OK fair point, but I would guess that if you had a clock like this then you probably wouldn't use this simple gated clock would you? (speaking from my world where we have quite simple clocks ;-))
