Yes that will work. When we add probe defer to clk_get() things
will work better. Presumably the clocks property already exists
for this device so that of_clk_get_parent_name() works so it's
not a binding change?

Yes. Unless you don't want to expose these details in DT because
it's all internal to the device?

In that case we need to go merge that patch on the clk list to
have clk_hw_create_clk() or something like that, so we can turn a
clk_hw structure into a clk pointer without directly referencing
the clk member of clk_hw.
