Don't compare the parent clock name with a NULL name in the
clk_parent_map. This prevents a kernel crash when passing NULL
core->parents[i].name to strcmp().
An example which triggered this is a mux clock with four parents when
each of them is referenced in the clock driver using
clk_parent_data.fw_name and then calling clk_set_parent(clk, 3rd_parent)
on this mux.
In this case the first parent is also the HW default so
core->parents[i].hw is populated when the clock is registered. Calling
clk_set_parent(clk, 3rd_parent) will then go through all parents and
skip the first parent because it's hw pointer doesn't match. For the
second parent no hw pointer is cached yet and clk_core_get(core, 1)
returns a non-matching pointer (which is correct because we are comparing
the second with the third parent). Comparing the result of
clk_core_get(core, 2) with the requested parent gives a match. However
we don't reach this point because right after the clk_core_get(core, 1)
mismatch the old code tried to !strcmp(parent->name, NULL) (where the
second argument is actually core->parents[i].name, but that was never
populated by the clock driver).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
