As far as I can tell most other platforms doesn't define "xo" either.
E.g. according to debugfs dsi0vco_clk doesn't have a parent on sdm845...

Sounds like we should update the dsi phys to specify a fw_name and
update binding and dts to provide this...


Does this cause a noticeable regression or it's just that we have a
dangling clock?

Afaict specifying "name" in struct clk_parent_data is the same as using
parent_names. But I'm not up to speed on the details of how to migrate
the dsi phys.

I omitted that because it felt unrelated to the change I was doing, but
it could certainly be done.
