Commit Message

The `parent_names' variable was freed also in case of kzalloc() error.
Instead of modifying the code to perform a proper memory release, I
decided to fix the bug by not allocating memory.
Since only one parent name is referenced, it is not necessary to
allocate this variable at runtime and therefore you can avoid calling
the kzalloc() function. This simplifies the code (even calls to kfree
can be removed) and improves the performance of the routine.

(no changes since v3)

Changes in v3:
- Add the "clk: ti: add of_ti_clk_register() helper" patch to the series.
- Use a variable of type struct clk_parent_data to furthermore simplify
  the code.
- Update the commit message.

Changes in v2:
- Fix compiling error
- Add kernel test robot's Reported-by tag.
