[ Upstream commit 9011f92622 ]
Sometimes clk drivers are attached to devices which are children of a
parent device that is connected to a node in DT. This happens when
devices are MFD-ish and the parent device driver mostly registers child
devices to match against drivers placed in their respective subsystem
directories like drivers/clk, drivers/regulator, etc. When the clk
driver calls clk_register() with a device pointer, that struct device
pointer won't have a device_node associated with it because it was
created purely in software as a way to partition logic to a subsystem.
This causes problems for the way we find parent clks for the clks
registered by these child devices because we look at the registering
device's device_node pointer to lookup 'clocks' and 'clock-names'
properties. Let's use the parent device's device_node pointer if the
registering device doesn't have a device_node but the parent does. This
simplifies clk registration code by avoiding the need to assign some
device_node to the device registering the clk.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
