BTW I generally wonder how a board (or SoC code) can reparent clocks if
needed. At the moment we need

	clk_get_sys(mux);
	clk_get_sys(new_parent);
	clk_set_parent(mux, new_parent);

The above needs error checking and we need a clkdev for all clocks we want
to reparent + a clkdev for all possible parents.

All this together makes reparenting in practice quite cumbersome. I have
the hope that future additions to the clock framework will make this
easier.
