Subject: [PATCH v2] clk: keystone: don't cache clock rate
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 11:09:34 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507-clk-sci-v2-1-38f59b48777a@ti.com> (raw)

From: Michael Walle <mwalle@kernel.org>

The TISCI firmware will return 0 if the clock or consumer is not
enabled although there is a stored value in the firmware. IOW a call to
set rate will work but at get rate will always return 0 if the clock is
disabled.
The clk framework will try to cache the clock rate when it's requested
by a consumer. If the clock or consumer is not enabled at that point,
the cached value is 0, which is wrong. Thus, disable the cache
altogether.
