This is correct, the set_parent hook is effectively unused at the
moment. It was implemented as a way for consumers to select the parent
themselves.

The LMK04832 is used in JESD204 applications where devices need a device
clock as well as a sysref clock. Since this is determined by the
hardware layout, a devicetree option is used to select the inital state
of the clkout mux. This is set at the end of lmk04832_register_clkout().
