Should the new IS_ERR() checks be it's own separate commit with the
Fixes tag? Then put the devm conversion in a separate commit without the
Fixes tag? I'm just thinking about ways to make these patches smaller so
that there's less to backport into the stable kernels.

It's worth noting in the commit log that if clk_set_parent fails, then
probing will fail. This is fine but it's a behavior change that's worth
calling out.

CLK_MAX_FIXED should be dropped now that it's unused.
