I didn't look into the code, though speculating it might be the case when CLK framework is not enabled, though many drivers are dependent to it, so, it would never fail in such cases.

I don't have any problem with the test as it doesn't add much (at least it doesn't print an error message). So it may stays here. What I'm really unhappy about is people sending hundreds of similar, autogenerated patches to maintainers without actually putting any thought into them. That put all the burden on the maintainers to weed out the incorrect patches. -- Alexandre Belloni, Free Electrons Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering http://free-electrons.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 55+ messages in thread

It was introduced by the very recent patch through Mark's asoc tree (since it was wrongly labeled as "ASoC" while it isn't). That patch looks indeed fishy.

In fact, I was surprised by the initial commit.

Some of these are after a devm_clk_get(), which does not require a modification in the error handling path (at least according to the one I've looked at) Some don't have any [devm_]clk_get() in the same function, and were not investigated further. But several also had the same construction as the one reported in this thread, and needed, IMHO, an update of the error handling path to call through clk_put(). It was "too" surprising to me to have "all" these "obviously" incomplete patches merged. I thought that I had missed something obvious and decided to propose one fix to see the reaction (and didn't expected all your replies!) So now, I think we should go through the commits above to either revert the commit and remove the test (and document why it is not needed) or fix the error handling path accordingly, even if one could know that it cant' happen.

Thanks, Mark From 0515760fa1159ffa863c7b2b73466aaff7d11a80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2017 06:40:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: ac97c: Fix an error handling path in 'atmel_ac97c_probe()' If 'clk_prepare_enable()' fails, we must release some resources before returning. Add a new label in the existing error handling path and 'goto' there. Fixes: 260ea95cc027 ("ASoC: atmel: ac97c: Handle return value of clk_prepare_enable.")
