I don't understand why this is considered a clock provider API.  How is a 
clock consumer, such as cpufreq, supposed to find out the number of parents 
or similar information, so that it knows what its options are for calling 
clk_set_parent()?

This is the caller I had in mind:

Surely asking the clock to describe itself is better than what that cpufreq 
driver currently does, which is to look in the device tree and make 
assumptions about how that maps to what the clock provider driver does...
