Subject: [ 28/37] clk: Check parent for NULL in clk_change_rate

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@....com>

commit bf47b4fd8f9f81cd5ce40e1945c6334d088226d1 upstream.

clk_change_rate() is accessing parent's rate without checking
if the parent exists at all. In case of root clocks this will
cause NULL pointer dereference.

This patch follows what clk_calc_new_rates() does in such
situation.
