Subject: [PATCH RESEND] clk: set initial best mux parent to current parent
 when determining rate

From: Yang Xiwen <forbidden405@...look.com>

Originally, the initial clock rate is hardcoded to 0, this can lead to
some problem when setting a very small rate with CLK_MUX_ROUND_NEAREST.

For example, if the lowest possible rate privided by the mux is 1000Hz,
setting a rate below 500Hz will fail, because no clock can provide a
better rate than the non-existant 0. But it should succeed with 1000Hz
being set.

Setting the initial best parent to current parent could solve this bug
very well.

This is actually a v2 of [1], but seems too simple to have a unittest.
It's tested in a mmc host driver.
