This may indeed allow to remove a lot of annoying code.

However, does this remove the globally unique name string constraints ? Are we
now allowed to have 2 instances of a driver registering a clock named "foo" ?

If this is the case, I wonder:
* How will it work with debugfs: clock names are used to create the
directories in there, plus clk_summary will quickly get messy.
* How will it behave if 2 clock registers with "foo" and one clock register
with the fallback parent "foo" ?

Wouldn't this show nothing if parent_data is used but fallback is not provided
(like in your example when you provide the clk_hw pointer instead) or did I
miss something ?

I'm a bit confused by the comment at the top of the loop. Strings in
parent_data are not copied over like we used to do with parent_names.

Is it allowed to have parent_data in __initdata ? It could be error prone if
parent_names and parent_data behaved differently on this.

If I understand correctly, .name and .fallback will be ignored if hw is
provided ? Maybe this should be documented somehow ?

Isn't parent_hws redundant with parent_data ? you may pass the clk_hw pointer
with both, right ?
