Based on the error and this patch, I believe what happens is:
1. dw_mci_probe() calls devm_clk_get(host->dev, "biu")
2. The clock does not exist on the platform from Ping Gao, so
host->biu_clk gets an error pointer assigned
3. "biu clock not available" gets printed at debug level
4. the error is ignored, but the error pointer is still assigned to
host->biu_clk
5. in the runtime PM handler clk_prepare_enable is called for
host->biu_clk and thus for an error pointer
Instead of hacking this up even further (as this patch does),
the proper fix is to cleanup the probe function. I believe
the complete biu clock handling in it could be reduced to this:
host->biu_clk = devm_clk_get_optional_enabled(host->dev, "biu");
ret = PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(host->biu_clk);
if (ret)
return dev_err_probe(host->dev, ret, "failed to get biu clock\n");
That will assign NULL to host->biu_clk when there is no clock
defined and it is fine to run clk_prepare_enable() with NULL
as clock pointer. Note, that this will handle the clock enabling
as part of devm, so you will also have to drop the
clk_disable_unprepare() calls from the err_clk_biu goto label
and the extra call from dw_mci_remove().
Something similar should probably be done for host->ciu_clk, which
seems to have the same incorrect logic.
Greetings,
