NULL clock should be a nop, so return success in either case.

This suffers from the same problem as discussed in another thread where
the mux is read-only and the parent is the current parent. That case
shouldn't fail.

Given that we just throw away the index, perhaps we should just loop
over the parent_names array searching for a name match on the parent's
name. If we did that this entire function would be lockless too.

Why not a bool? Do we really care why we can't set the parent in the
error case?

The name makes me think of mutex_trylock(), so I immediately think this
tries to set the parent. Perhaps a better name would be
clk_can_have_parent() or clk_has_parent()?
