[PATCH] clk: fix new_parent dereference before null check

[mturquette@linaro.org (Mike Turquette)]

Quoting James Hogan (2013-08-29 04:10:51)
> Commit 71472c0 (clk: add support for clock reparent on set_rate) added a

> 
> The dereference was in order to clear the new parent's new_child pointer
> to avoid duplicate POST_RATE_CHANGE notifications, so clearly isn't
> necessary if the new parent is NULL, so move it inside the "if
> (new_parent)" block.

Thanks for the quick fix. I've pulled this into clk-next.
