I'm not sure if adding a check for a NULL np in > of_clk_add_hw_provider() is a right fix, though. raspberrypi_clk_probe(): /* * We can be probed either through the an old-fashioned * platform device registration or through a DT node that is a * child of the firmware node. Handle both cases. */ So the real issue is rpi_register_clk_driver() creating a platform device for the firmware clocks if they're missing in DT. Then, the clock driver calls devm_of_clk_add_hw_provider(), regardless of a DT node being present or not. I'm wondering how power consumers are supposed to refer to these firmware clocks, without a DT node? > > --- a/drivers/clk/clk.c > > +++ b/drivers/clk/clk.c > > @@ -4594,6 +4594,8 @@ int of_clk_add_hw_provider(struct device_node *np, > > if (ret < 0) > > of_clk_del_provider(np); > > > > + fwnode_dev_initialized(&np->fwnode, true); > > + > > return ret; > > } > > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(of_clk_add_hw_provider); Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
