That is correct.

Right, if we allow other clock inputs, we need to check specifically for
"ext-osc32k", or a single clock input without clock-names, not just the
presence of the clocks property. (A hypothetical new binding would have
to require clock-names even for a single clock to distinguish the old
binding with only "ext-osc32k" from the new binding with only "hosc".)

This would be a far future change, so as to not break the "old kernel +
new DT" scenario. Maybe it's not even worth doing. But I really don't
like the unbounded assignment to num_parents here.
