This will warn for many drivers because they set clk_init_data on the
stack and assign parent_names but let junk from the stack be assigned to
parent_data. The code uses parent_names first and then looks for
parent_data or parent_hws because of this fact of life that we've never
required clk_init_data to be initialized to all zero.
