This allows the input clocks to the Exynos AudioSS block to be specified via device-tree bindings. Default names will be used when an input clock is not given. This will be useful when adding support for the Exynos5420 where the audio bus clock is called "sclk_maudio0" instead of "sclk_audio0".

Well, this is basically how it should be done, but in current state of clock core I can see a problem: can we really rely on the order of clock initialization? I mean, we can't defer initialization of particular clock controller until all external clocks it needs are available, because there is no probing involved here.
The clock core allows registering clocks even if their parents are not yet registered. I test this path with some dummy clocks every so often to make sure the re-parenting operation are completed successfully after the parents eventually are registered.
This feature was not used in practice until recently with the advent of multiple clock controllers getting registered and DT description of clocks / clock controllers that may be "out of order". If you find any bugs please let me know ;-)
