clk_change_rate() is accessing parent's rate without checking
if the parent exists at all. In case of root clocks this will
cause NULL pointer dereference.
This patch follows what clk_calc_new_rates() does in such
situation.

Hi Mike,
This is something I had to workaround to get Versatile Express
working with the common clock framework - my root clocks aren't
are variable (as in: non fixed).
I'm told that this might have been already fixed - if that's the
case simply ignore this patch. Also I'm not saying it's the best
way of solving the issue :-)
Cheers!
Pawel

Pawel,
This problem is indeed a real one. I've taken your patch into clk-next
for testing.
Thanks much,
Mike
