Subject: [PATCH] clk: hisilicon: hi3559a: Fix an erroneous devm_kfree()
Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2024 16:16:24 +0100
Message-ID: <773fc8425c3b8f5b0ca7c1d89f15b65831a85ca9.1705850155.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>

'p_clk' is an array allocated just before the for loop for all clk that
need to be registered.
It is incremented at each loop iteration.

If a clk_register() call fails, 'p_clk' may point to something different
from what should be freed.

The best we can do, is to avoid this wrong release of memory.

devm_kfree() is clearly wrong (IMHO :)), but just removing it is maybe not
the best solution.

Should hisi_clk_register_pll() return an error?
Should some data->clk_data.clks[clks[i].id] be set to NULL?
(hisi_clk_alloc() doesn't zero the allocated memory)
Should hisi_clk_alloc() use kzalloc() when allocating clk_table?
