Add clk_null, which represents clocks that can not / need not controlled by software. There are many clocks' parent set to clk_null.

The discussion around this patch shows that we don't want to have this clock in the device tree as it is not a hardware description. Ok, fine. Eddie, you told us that the rate of the current clk_null children is not interesting. What's the motivation to send this patch anyway then? Why can't you keep its children on the orphan list where they are already now? Another possibility would be to instantiate the clk_null clock from C code rather than from the device tree. This way we wouldn't put any wrong descriptions into the device tree and still can implement the support for the real parent clocks when we actually need them.
