Unnoticed in current code, there is an array bounds violation present during clock registration. This seems to fail gracefully in v6.0-rc1, and life carrys on. While converting the driver to use standard clock structs/ops, kernel panics were seen during boot when built with clang: [ 0.581754] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000b1 [ 0.591520] Oops [#1] [ 0.594045] Modules linked in: [ 0.597435] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.0.0-rc1-00011-g8e1459cf4eca #1 [ 0.606188] Hardware name: Microchip PolarFire-SoC Icicle Kit (DT) [ 0.613012] epc : __clk_register+0x4a6/0x85c [ 0.617759] ra : __clk_register+0x49e/0x85c [ 0.622489] epc : ffffffff803faf7c ra : ffffffff803faf74 sp : ffffffc80400b720 [ 0.630466] gp : ffffffff810e93f8 tp : ffffffe77fe60000 t0 : ffffffe77ffb3800 [ 0.638443] t1 : 000000000000000a t2 : ffffffffffffffff s0 : ffffffc80400b7c0 [ 0.646420] s1 : 0000000000000001 a0 : 0000000000000001 a1 : 0000000000000000 [ 0.654396] a2 : 0000000000000001 a3 : 0000000000000000 a4 : 0000000000000000 [ 0.662373] a5 : ffffffff803a5810 a6 : 0000000200000022 a7 : 0000000000000006 [ 0.670350] s2 : ffffffff81099d48 s3 : ffffffff80d6e28e s4 : 0000000000000028 [ 0.678327] s5 : ffffffff810ed3c8 s6 : ffffffff810ed3d0 s7 : ffffffe77ffbc100 [ 0.686304] s8 : ffffffe77ffb1540 s9 : ffffffe77ffb1540 s10: 0000000000000008 [ 0.694281] s11: 0000000000000000 t3 : 00000000000000c6 t4 : 0000000000000007 [ 0.702258] t5 : ffffffff810c78c0 t6 : ffffffe77ff88cd0 [ 0.708125] status: 0000000200000120 badaddr: 00000000000000b1 cause: 000000000000000d [ 0.716869] [<ffffffff803fb892>] devm_clk_hw_register+0x62/0xaa [ 0.723420] [<ffffffff80403412>] mpfs_clk_probe+0x1e0/0x244 It fails on "clk_periph_timer" - which uses a different parent, that it tries to find using the macro: \#define PARENT_CLK(PARENT) (&mpfs_cfg_clks[CLK_##PARENT].cfg.hw) If parent is RTCREF, so the macro becomes: &mpfs_cfg_clks[33].cfg.hw which is well beyond the end of the array. Amazingly, builds with GCC 11.1 see no problem here, booting correctly and hooking the parent up etc. Builds with clang-15 do not, with the above panic. Drop the macro for the RTCREF and use the array directly to avoid the panic, using a newly added define that brings the index into the valid range.
