If a mux clock is initialised (by hardware or firmware) with an invalid parent, its ->get_parent() can return an out of range index. For example, the generic mux clock attempts to return -EINVAL, which due to the u8 return type ends up a rather large number. Using this index with the parent_names[] array results in an invalid pointer and (usually) a crash in the following strcmp().
This patch adds a check for the parent index being in range, ignoring clocks reporting invalid values.
