So you mean that I should use clk_hw_register_fixed_rate and create new
clk if parent is not found? Isn't this a bit of an overkill? Downside is
that then we do need remove/cleanup functionality for deleting this
parent clock - and I didn't find devm support for fixed clock. Furthermore
I guess that since it is parent, it can't be removed before child is removed.
Or did you mean something else but creating a fixed rate clock as parent
here?
