No, this isn't the right fix.

With Smatch you can type:

$ smdb.py where visconti_clk_gate_table rs_id
drivers/clk/visconti/clkc-tmpv770x.c | (null)                         | (struct visconti_clk_gate_table)->rs_id | 0-31,255

That tells you it is assigned 255 as a global in drivers/clk/visconti/clkc-tmpv770x.c
It takes some digging to find that assignment...

drivers/clk/visconti/clkc-tmpv770x.c
   175                /* PISYSTEM */
   176                { TMPV770X_CLK_WRCK, "wrck",
   177                        clks_parent_data, ARRAY_SIZE(clks_parent_data),
   178                        0, 0x68, 0x168, 9, 32,
   179                        -1, }, /* No reset */
                              ^^
Really, that -1 there should generate a static checker warning but it
doesn't on Smatch...  :/

But the probably the correct fix is to make rs_id and related variables
and int instead of a u8.  I saw this bug but just reported it instead of
fixing it.
