Subject: [PATCH] clk: fix parent validation in __clk_set_parent()
Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2012 16:42:18 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1341313938-17861-1-git-send-email-rnayak@ti.com> (raw)
The below commit introduced a bug in __clk_set_parent()
which could cause it to *skip* the parent validation
which makes sure the parent passed to the api is a valid
one.
commit 7975059db572eb47f0fb272a62afeae272a4b209

clk: Allow late cache allocation for clk->parents
This was identified by the following compiler warning..
drivers/clk/clk.c: In function '__clk_set_parent':
drivers/clk/clk.c:1083:5: warning: 'i' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
.. as reported by Marc Kleine-Budde.
There were various options discussed on how to fix this, one
being initing 'i' to clk->num_parents, but the below approach
was found to be more appropriate as it also makes the 'parent
validation' code simpler to read.
