Re: [PATCH v2] hwrng: imx-rngc - check return value of clk_prepare_enable()

[Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]

Thus wrote Ma Yukun (0x4fe6@gmail.com):

> clk_prepare_enable() can fail here and its return value is currently
> ignored. If the clock fails to enable, the probe continues to read
> from the hardware registers without a clock, which can cause a bus
> hang or external abort.

> Check the return value and fail probe if the clock cannot be enabled.

This has already been fixed.
