Thanks. I will fix it. > But in light of the above (avoiding dummy clocks), it might be more > robust to make sure all code can handle adg->clk[i] = NULL? The reason why I don't use adg->clk[i] = NULL is it is using this macro #define for_each_rsnd_clk(pos, adg, i) \ for (i = 0; \ (i < CLKMAX) && \ ((pos) = adg->clk[i]); \ i++) The loop will stop at (A) if it was adg->clk[0] = audio_clk_a; adg->clk[1] = audio_clk_b; (A) adg->clk[2] = NULL adg->clk[3] = audio_clk_i; Thank you for your help !!
