You could point to the commit instead of saying "a recent patch". Would
provide more clarity.

Yes, the DT name can be NULL and then we would use the index.

Do you set the index to 0 in this clk's parent_data? We purposefully set
the index to -1 in clk_core_populate_parent_map() so that the fw_name
can be NULL but the index can be something >= 0 and then we'll use that
to lookup the clk from DT. We need to support that combination.

	fw_name   |   index |  DT lookup?
	----------+---------+------------
	NULL      |    >= 0 |     Y
	NULL      |    -1   |     N
	non-NULL  |    -1   |     ?
	non-NULL  |    >= 0 |     Y

Maybe we should support the ? case, because right now it will fail to do
the DT lookup when the index is -1.

So this patch instead?
