Not really. The first parent is registered within the rtc-ac100 driver,
which also handles the clocks on the RTC side of the chip.

The clock in the device tree is meant to tie the two parts of the chip
together: the codec side provides a high speed clock to the RTC side.

A good fix would be to check the return value of clk_hw_get_parent_by_index()
here: http://lxr.bootlin.com/linux/v4.16-rc1/source/drivers/rtc/rtc-ac100.c#L186
and skip it if it's NULL.

The driver is setup this way because the codec side is not implemented,
but the device tree binding is partially defined to include the clock.
