Provide devm variants for automatic resource release on device removal.
probe() error-handling is simpler, and remove is no longer required.

This deserves a less generic name.

clk_enable() is used in code that can't sleep, in what scenario do you
envision it being useful to enable a clock from such region until devres
cleans up the associated device?

devm_add_action_or_reset() allocates the devres object with GFP_KERNEL,
so this won't work.

devm_clk_prepare_enable() sounds very useful, devm_clk_prepare() might
be useful, so keep those and drop devm_clk_enable().

Again ?

This must be at least the third time this is tried. I don't think anything changed
since the previous submissions. I long since gave up and use devm_add_action_or_reset()
in affected drivers instead.

IMHO, my proposal is very simple and (somewhat) easier to review.
I'm sure it will enthrall Stephen/Mike, thus they'll merge it in a heart-beat ^_^

"Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen
Tonight we'll put all other things aside" ^_^
It's silly to have driver authors worry about probe() error-handling
in 2020. (What? It's not 2020 yet?!)
If I could get two or three reviews, it would help to show support
for this essential, yet still missing, API.

These are part of the clk API rather than the CCF API, and belong in
drivers/clk/clk-devres.c.

It's also worth reading https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/755667/
and considering whether you really are using the clk_prepare() and
clk_enable() APIs correctly. Wanting these devm functions suggests
you aren't...

In the few drivers I've written, I call clk_prepare_enable() at probe.
And since clk_prepare_enable() is the only non-devm function in probe,
I need either a remove function, or an explicit registration step.
You seem to be saying I'm using the clk API in the wrong way?
Regards.

I'm totally confused.
Are you saying that a hypothetical devm_clk_prepare() function should not be
implemented in the same file as the "raw" clk_prepare() ?

CCF is the acronym for Common Clock Framework?

Fair enough. Though it's only because of C's function pointer idiosyncrasies
that a function wrapper is even needed.

The use-case I had in mind was
"Device drivers that call
1) clk_prepare_enable from probe()
2) clk_disable_unprepare() in remove()"
(Russell King has pointed out the short-comings of such an approach
in a different sub-thread.)

Oooh, I think I understand what you mean...
I saw clk_prepare_enable() defined as clk_prepare() + clk_enable(),
and figured I'd define devm_clk_prepare_enable() as
devm_clk_prepare() + devm_clk_enable() without realizing that
devm_clk_enable() made no sense.
Solution: drop devm_clk_enable() from include/linux/clk.h
Consequence devm_clk_prepare_enable() cannot be static inline,
but that may not be a big deal...
Regards.

The clk API and CCF are two different things. I look after the clk API.
The CCF is an implementation of the clk API. Do not introduce clk API
code in files that are CCF specific.

Right, so the clocks are enabled as soon as the device is probed,
in other words at boot time. It remains enabled for as long as the
device is bound to its driver, whether or not the device is actually
being used. Every switching edge causes heat to be generated. Every
switching edge causes energy to be wasted.
That's fine if you have an infinite energy supply. That hasn't been
discovered yet.
Given the prevalence of technology, don't you think we should be
doing as much as we possibly can to reduce the energy consumption
of the devices we use? It may be peanuts per device, but at scale
it all adds up.

OK, I'm starting to see the bigger picture.
(To provide some rationale for the patch, I think devm is a huge
improvement for probe error-handling, and I did not understand
why every driver must do manual error-handling when dealing with
clocks in probe.)
I did envision kernel modules being loaded on an as-needed basis,
somewhat side-stepping the energy-waste issue you point out.
But I realize that such a use-case may be uncommon. (Especially
due to module auto-loading.)
A few months ago, I was discussing a similar issue with GKH:
Consider a device with a "START" register. Basically, if we write 0,
the device turns itself off; if we write 1, it runs as configured.
I was trying to start the device only when at least one user had
it "open". So I used reference counting, and started the device
on 0->1 open transitions, and stopped the device on 1->0 close
transitions. GKH told me that was the wrong way to do it, and IIRC
suggested to start the device in probe.
I probably misunderstood Greg's suggestion. Where is the right place
to start/stop a device (or gate its clocks)?
Regards.

In the device driver's Runtime PM callbacks?
In the Power/Clock Domain Controller driver?
See drivers/base/power/domain.c:genpd_{start,stop}_dev(), and how/when
it's called.
Embedded device driver writers typically care.
Server device driver writes typically don't.
