What's the relevance of this hunk to this patch? Can you drop this part?

Any chance clk_parent_data can be used instead of string names?

Why CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED? There should be a comment or it should be
replaced with CLK_IS_CRITICAL.

Why CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER? There should be a comment but better would be
to make a platform driver instead. If the platform driver can't be used,
we need to know what other device driver is probing based on this clkc
compatible string.

Why CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED? There should be a comment or it should be
replaced with CLK_IS_CRITICAL.

Why CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER? There should be a comment but better would be
to make a platform driver instead. If the platform driver can't be used,
we need to know what other device driver is probing based on this clkc
compatible string.
