I'm getting more and more unsure if we can really handle the complexity
we get by allowing to register orphaned clocks. On one hand we can't
handle the orphaned clocks properly when we do a clk_prepare/enable on
them, on the other hand we run into trouble when we forbid to
prepare/enable them. The fact that clocks can become orphans by
reparenting them makes it even more complicated.
Maybe allowing orphans is something that has to be revisited.
