[PATCH v4 0/4] ASoC: Intel: Fix MCLK leaks in

[aravindanilraj0702]

From: Aravind Anilraj <aravindanilraj0702@gmail.com>

In three Intel ASoC board drivers, the EVENT_ON path in
platform_clock_control() enables MCLK via clk_prepare_enable() but fails
to call clk_disable_unprepare() on subsequent error paths, leaking the
clock reference.

v4: Split dev_err formatting fix into a separate patch 4 as suggested by Mark Brown. Add return code to the error message for better diagnostics.

v3: Restored missing clk_disable_unprepare() guard in patch 2 that was
accidently dropped during v2 rebase.

v2: Guard clk_disable_unprepare() with SND_SOC_DAPM_EVENT_ON() to avoid
calling it in the EVENT_OFF error path where MCLK was never enabled.

Fix this across all three affected drivers.

[PATCH v4 1/4] ASoC: Intel: bytcr_rt5640: Fix MCLK leak on platform_clock_control error

[aravindanilraj0702]

From: Aravind Anilraj <aravindanilraj0702@gmail.com>

If byt_rt5640_prepare_and_enable_pll1() fails, the function returns
without calling clk_disable_unprepare() on priv->mclk, which was
already enabled earlier in the same code path. Add the missing
clk_disable_unprepare() call before returning the error.

This if-statement complicates the situation unnecessarily.  Please do 
the check in scope of "if (SND_SOC_DAPM_EVENT_ON(event))" found earlier 
in this function.

[PATCH v4 2/4] ASoC: Intel: bytcr_rt5651: Fix MCLK leak on platform_clock_control error

[aravindanilraj0702]

From: Aravind Anilraj <aravindanilraj0702@gmail.com>

without calling clk_disable_unprepare() on priv->mclk, which was
already enabled earlier in the same code path. Add the missing
clk_disable_unprepare() call before returning the error.

Same as for bytcr_rt5640:

This if-statement complicates the situation unnecessarily.  Please do
the check in scope of "if (SND_SOC_DAPM_EVENT_ON(event))" found earlier
in this function.

As I said on prior versions this has an unrelated change in this print.

Please don't ignore review comments, people are generally making them
for a reason and are likely to have the same concerns if issues remain
unaddressed.  Having to repeat the same comments can get repetitive and
make people question the value of time spent reviewing.  If you disagree
with the review comments that's fine but you need to reply and discuss
your concerns so that the reviewer can understand your decisions.

[PATCH v4 3/4] ASoC: Intel: cht_bsw_rt5672: Fix MCLK leak in platform_clock_control

[aravindanilraj0702]

From: Aravind Anilraj <aravindanilraj0702@gmail.com>

If snd_soc_dai_set_pll() or snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk() fail inside the
EVENT_ON path, the function returns without calling
clk_disable_unprepare() on ctx->mclk, which was already enabled earlier
in the same code path. Add the missing clk_disable_unprepare() calls
before returning the error.

I've overlooked the string changes.  For all three leading patches, 
please ensure only clk_disable_unprepare() is part of them.  The updates 
to the dev_err() make the patches non-atomic and you already have a 
dedicated patch for dev_err() - the fourth patch.  Do those changes there.

[PATCH v4 4/4] ASoC: Intel: boards: Log error code in MCLK configuration failure

[aravindanilraj0702]

From: Aravind Anilraj <aravindanilraj0702@gmail.com>

The dev_err() calls in platform_clock_control() for the three Intel ASoC
board drivers do not log the return code when clk_prepare_enable()
fails, making it harder to diagonse failures. Add the error code to the
log message.
