The following patch prevents a clock with a bad or missing clockdomain 
from registering.  It applies after F 06.

OMAP2/3 clock: prevent clock registration with bad or missing clockdomain

If clk_register() is called on a struct clk without a clockdomain
name, or a struct clk which contains an invalid clockdomain name, fail
the clock registration.  This prevents later code from inadvertently
dereferencing the clockdomain name string as a struct clockdomain
pointer.

Problem reported by Russell King <linux@....linux.org.uk>.

Tested on BeagleBoard ES2.1.
