Right, we can't.  The reason I added the device-tree lookup of input
clocks was because Exynos5420 has different names for several of the
input clocks to the audio block.  We already need a separate
compatibility string because of the ADMA clock, so we could just use
that to determine the parent clock names.  It's not ideal, but it's a
workaround for the initialization order issue.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Andrew
