Subject: clk: core: Force setting the phase delay when no change

From: Jean-Francois Moine <[email protected]>

commit 3174b0c9a62bb3738b4a2a506b8a075d4430e353 upstream.

This patch reverts commit 023bd7166be0 ("clk: skip unnecessary set_phase if nothing to do"), fixing two problems:

* in some SoCs, the hardware phase delay depends on the rate ratio of the clock and its parent. So, changing this ratio may imply to set new hardware values, even if the logical delay is the same.

* when the delay was the same as previously, an error was returned.
