Subject: [PATCH] clk: bcm: rpi: Mark VEC clock as CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
Date: Wed,  1 Apr 2026 08:13:57 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401111416.562279-2-mcanal@igalia.com> (raw)

On Raspberry Pi 3B, the VEC clock is used by the VideoCore firmware
display driver, which remains active until the vc4 driver loads and
sends NOTIFY_DISPLAY_DONE. If this clock is disabled during boot, a bus
lockup happens and the firmware becomes unresponsive, causing a complete
system lockup.

Mark the VEC clock with CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED so it survives the unused
clock disablement and remains available until the vc4 driver takes over
display management.

Fixes: 672299736af6 ("clk: bcm: rpi: Manage clock rate in prepare/unprepare callbacks")
