I was concerned about the "other" parent. In the case where you don't
have a clocks property (so the check that you are removing), the code
then registers a clock with two parents: the one that we create (the
internal oscillator) and the one coming from the clocks property.

clk_summary only shows the current parent, which is going to be right
with your patch, but in the case where you have no clocks property,
you still (attempts to) register two parents, the second one being
non-functional.

Further looking at it, we might be good because we allocate an array
of two clocks, but only register of_clk_get_parent_count(node) + 1
clocks, so 1 if clocks is missing.

Still, I think this should be more obvious, through a comment or
shuffling a bit the parent registration maybe?
