Subject: drivers/clocksource/mips-gic-timer.c:283 looks suspicious: ret != clk
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2026 18:48:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aahwZ3iJVbo55int@mail-auth.avm.de> (raw)
Hello,
while looking where IS_ERR(…) plus a manual NULL check can be converted
to IS_ERR_OR_NULL(…) I stumbled by accident over
gic_clocksource_of_init() line 283, where `IS_ERR(clk)` is used combined
with `!ret`:
static int __init gic_clocksource_of_init(struct device_node *node)
{
struct clk *clk;
int ret;
…
clk = of_clk_get(node, 0);
if (!IS_ERR(clk)) {
ret = clk_prepare_enable(clk);
if (ret < 0) {
pr_err("Failed to enable clock\n");
clk_put(clk);
return ret;
}
gic_frequency = clk_get_rate(clk);
} else {
…
}
ret = gic_clockevent_init();
if (!ret && !IS_ERR(clk)) {
^^^ ^^^
If this right or should with be changed to
if (!ret && !IS_ERR(ret)) {
or even better
if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(ret)) {
