Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rtc: sun6i: Prevent an out-of-bounds read

If there is more than one parent clock in the devicetree, the
driver sets .num_parents to a larger value than the number of array
elements, which causes an out-of-bounds read in the clock framework.

Fix this by coercing the parent count to a Boolean value, like the
driver expects.

Is there any DT with more than one parent? I think more fixes are needed if
this is the case.

H616 and newer expect more than one parent, to accurately represent the
RTC clock tree, but they use the CCU driver instead of this code.

This bug is preventing us from relaxing `maxItems` in the binding for H6
and older SoCs, even if Linux does not use the additional parent clocks.
I want to fix this bug now, to give us the option (if beneficial) of
relaxing the binding in the long-term future.

Regards,
Samuel

If I understand that correctly, second clock would be 24 MHz crystal? In any
case, if multiple parents are possible, check needs to be added to see if
parent clocks include 32 kHz clock or not.

I wouldn't call it a bug, since it works just fine for currently defined
binding. Do you have DT binding change in pipeline?

Hello,

What should I do with this series, I'm not sure you came to an
agreement.
Also, 2/2 doesn't apply so you'd have to rebase.

That is correct.

Right, if we allow other clock inputs, we need to check specifically for
"ext-osc32k", or a single clock input without clock-names, not just the
presence of the clocks property. (A hypothetical new binding would have
to require clock-names even for a single clock to distinguish the old
binding with only "ext-osc32k" from the new binding with only "hosc".)

This would be a far future change, so as to not break the "old kernel +
new DT" scenario. Maybe it's not even worth doing. But I really don't
like the unbounded assignment to num_parents here.

I will send v2 after the merge window, possibly including only patch 2.
