Currently, clk_register() never checks a circular parent looping, but clock providers could register such an insane clock topology. For example, "clk_a" could have "clk_b" as a parent, and vice versa. In this case, clk_core_reparent() creates a circular parent list and __clk_recalc_accuracies() calls itself recursively forever. The core infrastructure should be kind enough to bail out, showing an appropriate error message in such a case. This helps to easily find a bug in clock providers. (uh, I made such a silly mistake when I was implementing my clock providers first. I was upset because the kernel did not respond, without any error message.) This commit adds a new helper function, __clk_is_ancestor(). It returns true if the second argument is a possible ancestor of the first one. If a clock core is a possible ancestor of itself, it would make a loop when it were registered. That should be detected as an error.
