Tracing this path, here are the reasons why I submitted this patch. 1. The clk_set_parent() function takes new parent for granted and tries to access new_parent->rate when notifiers are registered, 2. For clocks with multiple parents, the __clk_set_parent() function also takes new parent for granted and tries to access parent name while finding the index of new parent from cached parent pointers. But if the design decision is to allow clock to be re-parented to orphan list when new parent is missing, I can provide the new working patch. > Untested patch below fixes the real bug: > > > > From a4d56e3ee51452366365749873710e16631e9de7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > From: Mike Turquette <mturquette@linaro.org> > Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:39:06 -0800 > Subject: [PATCH] clk: allow re-parenting to NULL clks > > __clk_reparent presently bails early if the new parent of a clk is NULL. > This is wrong and prevents dynamically migrating clocks into the orphan > list.

while reparenting a clock, NULL check is done for clock in consideration and its new parent. So re-check is not required. If done, else part becomes unreachable.
