[PATCH 1/4] clk: propagate parent change up one level

[Tomasz Stanislawski]

This patch adds support for propagation of setup of clock's parent one level
up.

This feature is helpful when a driver changes topology of its clocks using
clk_set_parent().  The problem occurs when on one platform/SoC driver's clock
is located at MUX output but on the other platform/SoC there is a gated proxy
clock between the MUX and driver's clock.  In such a case, driver's code has to
be modified to use one clock for enabling and the other clock for setup of a
parent.

The code updates are avoided by propagating setup of a parent up one level.

Additionally, this patch adds CLK_SET_PARENT_PARENT (sorry for naming) flag to
inform clk-core that clk_set_parent() should be propagated.
