Please provide a commit log, giving some context to your fix.

Is this a regression?

Well, I hope Lucas could add something here. I am uncertain how it was
supposed to work, the ndata->clk (the pointer, not the clk pointed by
it) can't be at the same time a member of imx_i2c_struct, and I believe
the macro only does simple arithmetics to get to the outer struct.

Probably (it went in between 4.16 and 4.17, commit id is
90ad2cbe88c22d0215225ab9594eeead0eb24fde). However this part may be
unused on many boards (apparently it only fires up if the "IPG" clock
rate changes), so it may not manifest itself. I only hit it when I added
a custom driver (using/requesting a special clock derived from IPG).

Subject: [PATCH] ARM i.MX: Fix a kernel panic in i2c_imx_clk_notifier_call().

90ad2cbe88c22d0215225ab9594eeead0eb24fde changed the i.MX I2C bus driver
to use a notifier whenever the base clock ("ipg" - 66 MHz peripheral
clock) rate changes.

Unfortunately one can't use the container_of() macro this way - the
first argument has to point to a member of the bigger struct (last
argument). Merely pointing to the same value isn't enough (the clk
variable which has its address passed to the macro is the clk in
notifier_block, not the one in imx_i2c_struct, even though both pointers
point to the same clk struct).

This bug causes kernel panic when the IPG clock rate changes (e.g. if
any clock derived from IPG changes).

I didn't look at the patch, but I suggest a Fixes: line here à la:

Fixes: 90ad2cbe88c2 ("i2c: imx: use clk notifier for rate changes")

Best regards
Uwe

This reference should ideally be in a fixes-tag, below...
