[PATCH 1/3] clk: bcm: rpi: Prevent out-of-bounds access

The while loop in raspberrypi_discover_clocks() relies on the assumption
that the id of the last clock element is zero. Because this data comes
from the Videocore firmware and it doesn't guarantuee such a behavior
this could lead to out-of-bounds access. So fix this by providing
a sentinel element.
