Subject: [PATCH] clk: document that clk_get_parent() returns NULL
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 18:50:18 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alZaumcBpsRS9tyS@stanley.mountain> (raw)
The documentation in the clk.h file says that clk_get_parent() returns
error pointers but it doesn't. It's also not consistent with the
comments next to the clk_get_parent() implementation which say that
it returns NULL when the clk is NULL. Update the comments so they
are consistent and accurate and say that it returns NULL.
