Any suggestion about the name? clk_hw_fetch_parent_index? That would be
a direct access of the internal clk_fetch_parent_index.

The name is already not that intuitive as is. The alternative is to make
it extra long, don't know if that's a problem...
Something like clk_hw_get_parent_index_by_parent? (that is even more
confusing)
