[v12,3/6] clk: provider: Address documentation pitfall in struct clk_parent_data

Commit Message

For some reason, I understood the description of .index to mean an index
into the list of clocks defined by the provider itself. This is not the
case, and it caused me much confusion.

Let's be a bit more explicit for those who read the documentation after me.
