Subject: [PATCH 1/2] clk: clk_core_get() can also return NULL

Nothing stops a clk controller from registering an OF clk provider
before registering those clks with the clk framework. This is not great
but we deal with it in the clk framework by refusing to hand out struct
clk pointers when 'hw->core' is NULL, the indication that clk_register()
has been called.

Within clk_core_fill_parent_index() we considered this case when a
clk_hw pointer is referenced directly by filling in the parent cache
with an -EPROBE_DEFER pointer when the core pointer is NULL. When we
lookup a parent with clk_core_get() we don't care about the return value
being NULL though, because that was considered largely impossible, but
it's been proven now that it can be NULL if two clk providers are
probing in parallel and the parent provider has been registered before
the clk has. Let's check for NULL here as well and treat it the same as
direct clk_hw references.
