Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

clk: qcom: ipq8074: fix PCI-E clock oops

Fix PCI-E clock related kernel oops that are caused by a missing clock
parent.

pcie0_rchng_clk_src has num_parents set to 2 but only one parent is
actually set via parent_hws, it should also have "XO" defined.
This will cause the kernel to panic on a NULL pointer in
clk_core_get_parent_by_index().

So, to fix this utilize clk_parent_data to provide gcc_xo_gpll0 parent
data.
Since there is already an existing static const char * const gcc_xo_gpll0[]
used to provide the same parents via parent_names convert those users to
clk_parent_data as well.

Without this earlycon is needed to even catch the OOPS as it will reset
the board before serial is initialized with the following:

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
