Yes this happend when using the video drivers. Somehow some drivers
tried to reparent the video_pll to the same parent that it already had.

clk: failed to reparent video_pll to osc_24m: -22
clk: failed to reparent video_pll to osc_24m: -22

I did not check which one it was. Since this call came twice, it looked
right to me to fix this on this obvious location.
