Commit f316cdff8d67 ("clk: Annotate struct clk_hw_onecell_data with
__counted_by") annotated the hws member of 'struct clk_hw_onecell_data'
with __counted_by, which informs the bounds sanitizer (UBSAN_BOUNDS)
about the number of elements in .hws[], so that it can warn when .hws[]
is accessed out of bounds. As noted in that change, the __counted_by
member must be initialized with the number of elements before the first
array access happens, otherwise there will be a warning from each access
prior to the initialization because the number of elements is zero.
This occurs in atlantis_prcm_clocks_register() due to .num being
assigned only after every clock has been stored in .hws[]. With
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and a compiler that implements __counted_by (GCC
15.1+ or Clang 20.1+), this triggers an array-index-out-of-bounds report
during probe, and with CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP the first store traps so the
clock provider never registers.
Move the .num initialization to right after the allocation.

Found while auditing the remaining clk_hw_onecell_data users that assign
.num only after touching .hws[], following the fixes already merged for
clk-s2mps11 (3e14c7207a97), exynos-clkout (cf33f0b7df13) and
clk-raspberrypi (6dc445c19050). The audit, the fix and this changelog
were drafted with an LLM assistant and reviewed by hand.
Compile-tested only (W=1, no warnings) on x86_64 with GCC 13.3, via
COMPILE_TEST with CONFIG_TENSTORRENT_ATLANTIS_PRCM=m. GCC 13.3 does not
implement __counted_by (CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY needs GCC 15.1+ or Clang
20.1+), so the build only confirms that the change compiles; the
sanitizer path was not exercised. I do not have the hardware, so this is
not runtime-tested and no UBSAN report was captured.
Based on v7.3-rc1.

Looks like variable num_clks can be removed entirely, and just do:
clk_data->num = data->num;
Thanks

With CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP, probe fails like this in the QEMU tt-atlantis

Yes - it is only read once and data is const.
Thanks for reviewing, and thanks Anirudh for testing. For the redundant
variable, since this has a stable Cc, perhaps we can keep the diff
minimal here and I can send the cleanup as a follow-up once it lands?
Kind Regards
