This patch adds an API clk_hw_get_parent_index to get index of the
clock parent to use during the clock restore operations on system
resume.
 
Is there a reason we can't save the clk hw index at suspend time by
reading the hardware to understand the current parent? The parent index
typically doesn't matter unless we're trying to communicate something
from the framework to the provider driver. Put another way, I would
think the provider driver can figure out the index itself without having
to go through the framework to do so.
Isn't it a bit wasteful to duplicate information about the parent within
a provider if framework already has that info? The whole point of this
new API is to allow providers to avoid that unnecessary duplication.

Please note that clk_hw_get_parent_index is getting used only at the
resume time and not at suspend.
