Seems you're right, keeping the parent always enabled is enough:

	clk_prepare_enable(clk_get_parent(vec->clock)); // pllc_per

I tried enabling just the grandparent clock as well, but that didn't help.

Without the clock hack it seems the hang occurs when switching between
NTSC and PAL, at most I've been able to do that 4-5 times before it hangs.

For a while it looked like fbdev/fbcon had a play in this, but then I
realised that it just gave me a NTSC mode to start from and to go back
to when qutting modetest.
