Linux kernel source tree
When I got my clock parenting slightly wrong I ended up with a crash
that looked like this:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
address 0000000000000000
...
pc : clk_hw_get_rate+0x14/0x44
...
Call trace:

It turned out that clk_hw_get_parent_by_index() was returning NULL and
we weren't checking. Let's check it so that we don't crash.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
