Use clk_parent_data instead and reference the binding name with .fw_name

Hi Stephen, sorry to bother you again.
I'm wondering if adding `clk_parent_data` is necessary as it seems like
it wold be a big change and the other IMX boards haven't implemented
this yet would it be okay if I don't do this, or if it is necessary
could you link to a patch set to change it.


Is it a big change because the imx_clk_hw*() APIs aren't prepared for
non-string parents? Can you make some clk_parent_data based APIs and
migrate things over gradually? This is really a question for i.MX folks
to see if anyone is working on moving away from the string names.

I'm currently looking into it. I would suggest we take this patch as is
and I'll switch it later on to clk_parent_data.
Thanks so much that would be great!

Should I sent the other changes requested I have them ready? Or should i wait.

Best regards
Jesse Taube
