Hi Mark,

Thanks for the patch.  I've already solved this in my clk-fixes branch
(working on it now, not yet on the list).  I'm going to re-use the
same approach for the fixed-rate clock as is used for the divider and
gate; the registration functions for those types store the parent_name
in the struct clk_foo and use kstrdup as your patch does below.

Thanks again,
Mike
