Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ARM/soc: Make sure clk_init_data is fully initialized
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 10:52:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1787239869.git.geert+renesas@glider.be> (raw)

	Hi all,

The clk_init_data structure contains several mutually-exclusive members
for different methods to specify the possible parents of a clock,
prompting drivers to initialize only the members they need.  However,
not initializing all members may cause subtle issues, which are only
exposed when CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE is
enabled.

Hence this series aims to make sure all members are fully initialized,
to avoid such bugs, and to prevent future breakage when converting
drivers to a different method for specifying the parents.

Part One[1] fixed all cases that I identified to be real bugs, in
response to a crash I saw on BeagleBone Black.

This series is the ARM/soc subpart of Part Two, which fixes remaining
cases that are currently harmless.  These are still fragile, and may
cause future breakage when converting drivers to a different method for
specifying the parents.

Thanks for your comments!
