I don't think the common clock framework tries to keep track of that.

Right, we can only allow the CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT parent flag on the dclk
clocks when the parent is HPLL. Since we can't be sure that HPLL is the
parent we have to remove the flag.

That solves it for the HDMI case. I can imagine that for a LVDS user the
CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag on the dclks is quite handy to get a PLL
frequency suitable for the display. Otherwise he would have to set a
suitable PLL frequency using assigned-clock-rates in the device tree.
That's still possible so this might be a good compromise.
