[PATCH] clk: Introduce clk_try_parent()

[Thierry Reding]

From: Thierry Reding <treding@xxxxxxxxxx>

This new function is similar to clk_set_parent(), except that it doesn't
actually change the parent. It merely checks that the given parent clock
can be a parent for the given clock.

A situation where this is useful is to check that a particular setup is
valid before switching to it. One specific use-case for this is atomic
modesetting in the DRM framework where setting a mode is divided into a
check phase where a given configuration is validated before applying
changes to the hardware.
