Okay. But in cases where there is only 1 valid parent clock provided
through DT (at the moment for Exynos5250/Exynos5420), would it be safe
to set that clock as the parent of CLKOUT? Otherwise, this clock is
not usable ATM.

I would be happy to get it done that way. I can see a patch from
Sylwester regarding this, but there hasn't been a conclusion as of
yet.
