Re: [PATCH] [RFC] clk: stm32mp1: Keep RNG1 clock always running

[Gatien CHEVALLIER <gatien.chevallier@foss.st.com>]

Hi Marek,

Strange indeed.
A potential reason that comes to my mind would be that something tries 
to get a random number after the driver suspended and fails to do so.
Else it might just be a bad clock balance.

Can you describe the software ecosystem that you're running please?
(SCMI/no SCMI)?

Do you have the 3 fixes of stm32_rng.c that you've sent recently in your
software when testing?

What if you add a trace in a random generation function in random.c?

After this, I'll try to reproduce the issue.

Thanks,
Gatien
