Great! I remember having some trouble with this "parent is not 
registered yet" issue (but I don't recall how I solved it, maybe in 
reordering clk nodes).
Anyway, this will help other platforms too (at least the at91 one).

Shouldn't we wait for all parents to be ready (If I'm right, you're only 
waiting for the first parent...) ?
And if you only request for one clk to be ready, why the first one (you 
could loop over parent clks and stop when one of its parent is ready) ?
