Subject: [PATCH V2 0/3] Fix to clk framework while handling orphan clks

From: Ambresh K <ambresh@...com>

On a possible HW bug or in-correct configuration of MUX register's in
bootloader; might return a value greater than available parent clocks
for a MUX clk.     
Sensing invalid parent index, clk_mux_get_parent returns -EINVALID. 
Due to function's "u8" return type it will get converted into signed value,
thus causing following pointer dereference on test platform.

M[    0.000000] dra7xx_clk_init: clk init (gpu_core_gclk_mux)^M
^M[    0.000000] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
address 00000000^M

^M[    0.000000] [00000000] *pgd=00000000^M

Changes since v1:
- Fixed review comments.
- Fixed return type of .get_parent callback function.

Ambresh K (3):
  clk: fix clk_mux_get_parent return's signed value
  clk: skip re-parenting orphan clk
  ARM: OMAP2+: clk: Fix return type of callbacks
