I couldn't find that discussion on the archive, but based on the title I
guess there's some patches that have been merged this cycle for the 8250
driver to do just that (868f3ee6e452 ("serial: 8250: Add 8250 port clock
update method") and cc816969d7b5 ("serial: 8250_dw: Fix common clocks
usage race condition")).

However, I'm not entirely sure the clock notifier works in our case with
the firmware / MMIO clocks duality
