[PATCH v2 0/2] clk: samsung: Fix kfree() of const memory on setting driver_override

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Hi,

Changes since v1:
1. Split clock-related fixes out of bigger platform patchset.
2. Remove usage of driver_override.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

  clk: samsung: exynos5: Fix possible NULL pointer exception on
    platform_device_alloc() failure
  clk: samsung: exynos5: Fix kfree() of const memory on setting
    driver_override

[PATCH v2 1/2] clk: samsung: exynos5: Fix possible NULL pointer exception on platform_device_alloc() failure

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

During initialization of subdevices if platform_device_alloc() failed,
returned NULL pointer will be later dereferenced.  Add proper error
paths to exynos5_clk_register_subcmu().  The return value of this
function is still ignored because at this stage of init there is nothing
we can do.

[PATCH v2 2/2] clk: samsung: exynos5: Fix kfree() of const memory on setting driver_override

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Platform driver driver_override field should not be initialized from
const memory because the core later kfree() it.  If driver_override is
manually set later through sysfs, kfree() of old value leads to:

    $ echo "new_value" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/.../driver_override

    kernel BUG at ../mm/slub.c:3960!
    Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
    ...
    (kfree) from [<c058e8c0>] (platform_set_driver_override+0x84/0xac)
    (platform_set_driver_override) from [<c058e908>] (driver_override_store+0x20/0x34)
    (driver_override_store) from [<c031f778>] (kernfs_fop_write+0x100/0x1dc)

    (ksys_write) from [<c0101000>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x28)

The clk-exynos5-subcmu driver uses override only for the purpose of
creating meaningful names for children devices (matching names of power
domains, e.g. DISP, MFC).  The driver_override was not developed for
this purpose so just switch to default names of devices to fix the
issue.
