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:
