Hello,

The function clk_hw_register_fixed_factor from
drivers/clk/clk-fixed-factor.c contains:

struct clk_init_data init;
...
fix->hw.init = &init;
...
hw = &fix->hw;
...
return hw;

It looks like hw would then contain a dangling pointer, to init.  Should
this be nulled out, or does it not matter because it is certain that no
one will look at it anyway?  Or did I miss a null assignment elsewhere?

thanks,
julia
