No, do not get the clock name of a parent in the driver. Use struct
clk_parent_data to tell the clk framework what the parent is.

Don't use a string name. The devicetree index must be stable, so simply
use the index that the binding has as the index in struct
clk_parent_data.

	struct clk_parent_data parent_map[] = {
		{ .index = MY_DT_PARENT_1 }, /* parent index 0 */
		{ .index = MT_DT_PARENT_2 }, /* parent index 1 */
	};

I guess that's a problem with how the code is written?

There are many references. A new qcom one is drivers/clk/qcom/gcc-x1e80100.c
