I'm not sure what you mean here and unfortunately your quoting style makes your statement appear without context. if (... && !IS_ERR(cam->mipi_clk)) { if (cam->mipi_clk) devm_clk_put(mcam->dev, cam->mipi_clk); cam->mipi_clk = NULL; } might work in your setup, but it's wrong usage of the clk API. There is no reason NULL couldn't be a valid clk pointer. Moreover I cannot find a place in that driver that calls prepare and/or enable for the mipi_clk. (BTW, calling clk_get_rate on a disabled clk is another thing you shouldn't do.) > For the mipi_clk, it is shared between other components, so we put the clk it we don't use it. There should be no problem if >1 driver holds a reference to the clock. It's clk_disable (+ maybe clk_unprepare) you should call when you don't need it any more.
