[ARM] omap: clk_set_parent: deny changing parent if clock is enabled
Richard Woodruff writes:
| The historic usage of this has been against single use leaf clocks

| clk_get()
| clk_set_parent()
| clk_enable()

This is a good reason to ensure that the clock is not enabled when
clk_set_parent() is called.
