It does. The following hunk:

-       for (i = 0; i < clk->num_parents; i++)
-               if (clk->parents[i] == parent)
-                       break;
+       if (clk->parents)
+               for (i = 0; i < clk->num_parents; i++)
+                       if (clk->parents[i] == parent)
+                               break;
+       else
+               clk->parents = kzalloc((sizeof(struct clk*) * clk->num_parents),
+                                                               GFP_KERNEL);

results in i being uninitialized if clk->parents is NULL. But I wonder
if for this case i should be set to clk->num_parents instead of 0?

Best regards
Uwe
