Ah I see this is related to the patch I just reviewed. Can you reference
this in the commit text? And instead of putting the change into the clk
provider let's check for NULL 'np' in of_clk_add_hw_provider() instead
and return 0 if there's nothing to do. That way we don't visit this
problem over and over again.
