The for-loop iterates with a u8 loop counter i and compares this
with the loop upper limit of num_parents that is an int type.
There is a potential infinite loop if num_parents is larger than
the u8 loop counter. Fix this by making the loop counter the same
type as num_parents.

clk_hw_get_num_parents() returns 'unsigned int', so
I think 'num_parents' should also have been 'unsigned int'.

Maybe, the loop counter 'i' also should be 'unsigned int' then?
Good point. I'll send a V2.
