When I got my clock parenting slightly wrong I ended up with a crash
that looked like this:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
address 0000000000000000

It turned out that clk_hw_get_parent_by_index() was returning NULL and
we weren't checking. Let's check it so that we don't crash.

I haven't gone back and tried to reproduce this same crash on older
kernels, but I'll put the blame on commit ac269395cdd8 ("clk: qcom:
Convert to clk_hw based provider APIs"). Before that if we got a NULL
parent back it was fine and dandy since a NULL "struct clk" is valid
to use but a NULL "struct clk_hw" is not.
Changes in v3:
- Add Matthias tag.
Changes in v2:
- Patch ("clk: qcom: rcg2: Don't crash...") new for v2.
