The plan is to make clk_get_parent_by_index() return a clk_hw pointer
instead of a clk pointer (probably with a new
clk_get_parent_hw_by_index() API). Then drivers that are clk providers
can deal in struct clk_hw and clk consumers can deal in struct clk,
nicely splitting the API between consumers and providers on the
structures they use to interact with the framework.
