There are many clans of Orlanthi who are descended from Yinkin (including those of Harmast and Hendrik). However, even amongst them Yinkin is not a ruler cult (that is always his older brother Orlanth). He is a guardian, a protector, but not a chief or king. A chief or king will offer sacrifices to Yinkin as an ancestor and protector, but not as the source of his status as a chief or king.
