[Rajan] Yes. During of_clk_init() if some DT fixed factor clock has parent 
which is neither mentioned in output-clock-names of clock controller nor 
registered as clock provider, of_clk_init() will try to forcefully register in 
second loop. 

                        if (force || parent_ready(clk_provider->np)) {

                                /* Don't populate platform devices */
                                of_node_set_flag(clk_provider->np,
                                                 OF_POPULATED);

So registration of this DT fixed-factor clock would fail as parent would be 
NULL as below (called from _of_fixed_factor_clk_setup()):
parent_name = of_clk_get_parent_name(node, 0);

On the other hand, even if registration failed, that node will be marked as 
OF_POPULATED, so probe of clk-fixed-factor.c will also not be called and that 
DT fixed-factor clock would never be registered. 

Same thing is discussed at  https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/6/5/681 .
