Subject: [PATCH 4.14 096/217] clk: kirkwood: Fix a clocking boot regression

From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@...aro.org>

commit aaedb9e00e5400220a8871180d23a83e67f29f63 upstream.

Since a few kernel releases the Pogoplug 4 has crashed like this
during boot:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000002
(...)

Code: e3130020 1afffffb e12fff1e c08a1078 (e5d03000)

This is because the "powersave" mux clock 0 was provided in an unterminated
array, which is required by the loop in the driver:

        /* Count, allocate, and register clock muxes */
        for (n = 0; desc[n].name;)
                n++;

Here n will go out of bounds and then call clk_register_mux() on random
memory contents after the mux clock.

Fix this by terminating the array with a blank entry.
