Hm, I'm not sure this is correct. Here, you're just faking the
fact that your current parent is the first one in the parent list while
it actually points to the 6th entry. Not only your rate will be false
(the one calculated in ->round_rate()), but you're also changing the
behavior of the clk_set_rate() and clk_set_parent() operation (AFAIR,
if you try to change to the first parent, the core code will think it's
already properly configured and will never call ->set_parent()).

This leaves 2 solutions here:
- implement the missing clk driver and add an entry in the parent
  list
- select the 1st parent clk (I mean, change the register value) if the
  hardware points to the 6th one.

Best Regards,

Boris
