This probably needs to compare hw pointers again given that it's in the
clk-provider code. It would be nice if we could use indices instead though.

This one is what this thread has started on about. Comparing hw pointers
is ok for now...

This one looks like an optimization. We can just always try to set the
parent and if it's already the current parent then the core should bail
out early without an error. So the fix would be to just remove the if
condition.

Yes these all look like instances of the problem.

Yes please do. And if you could share the coccinelle patch that would be
great. Thanks.
