I'm thinking about this patch but I haven't quite made up my mind. It is
reasonable, but also some nice kind of error might be preferable when
preparing/enabling an orphaned clock.

Under what conditions might a clock be orphaned? An obvious example is
just bad luck during the thundering herd of clock registrations from a
driver. In this case deferring the probe might be a good idea.

However what about the case where a loadable module provides the parent
clock? It might be a long time before the orphan clocks gets picked up
from the orphanage. Is deferring probe the right thing here as well?

Regards,
Mike
