From: Ambresh K <ambresh@xxxxxx> On a possible HW bug or in-correct configuration of clk_sel bits in bootloaders, there are high probablity of returning a value greater than available parent clocks for a MUX clk. Sensing invalid parent index, clk_mux_get_parent returns -EINVALID. Due to function's "u8" return type it will get converted into signed value, thus causing following pointer dereference on test platform. Patch series fixes the bug and also minor optimzation while re-parenting orphan clk.
