clk: Support for clock parents and rates assigned from device tree
This patch adds helper functions to configure clock parents and rates as specified through 'assigned-clock-parents', 'assigned-clock-rates' DT properties for a clock provider or clock consumer device. The helpers are now being called by the bus code for the platform, I2C and SPI busses, before the driver probing and also in the clock core after registration of a clock provider.

+==Assigned clock parents and rates==
+
+Some platforms may require initial configuration of default parent clocks
+and clock frequencies. Such a configuration can be specified in a device tree
+node through assigned-clocks, assigned-clock-parents and assigned-clock-rates
+properties. The assigned-clock-parents property should contain a list of parent
+clocks in form of phandle and clock specifier pairs, the assigned-clock-parents
+property the list of assigned clock frequency values - corresponding to clocks
+listed in the assigned-clocks property.
+
+To skip setting parent or rate of a clock its corresponding entry should be
+set to 0, or can be omitted if it is not followed by any non-zero entry.

+
+In this example the <&pll 2> clock is set as parent of clock <&clkcon 0> and
+the <&pll 2> clock is assigned a frequency value of 460800 Hz.
+
+Configuring a clock's parent and rate through the device node that consumes
+the clock can be done only for clocks that have a single user. Specifying
+conflicting parent or rate configuration in multiple consumer nodes for
+a shared clock is forbidden.
+
+Configuration of common clocks, which affect multiple consumer devices can
+be similarly specified in the clock provider node.
