Okay.

Okay, if I do a lookup on the parent names array as you suggested below
I don't need to consider this anyway.

Done.

A bool should do fine. I guess a negative error code would've been
easier to propagate, but we can probably just return an -EINVAL if
clk_has_parent() fails.

clk_has_parent() sounds good to me.
