Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: media: meson: vdec: propagate devm_clk_get() errors
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 19:34:58 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714140458.1276-1-alfievarghese22@gmail.com> (raw)
vdec_probe() hardcodes -EPROBE_DEFER for all devm_clk_get() failures.
This masks the actual error code returned by the clock framework, such
as -ENOENT when a clock is not registered or -ENOMEM on allocation
failure.
Return PTR_ERR() instead to propagate the real error to the caller.
Fixes: 4f75e7dfa6dc ("media: meson: vdec: add driver")
