Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] PCI: imx6: Avoid dereferencing a NULL clock name
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 11:22:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111162238.3258975-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107051121-failed-6.18-e60d0d4dfddf@kernel.org>

From: Rudi Heitbaum <rudi@heitbaum.com>

[ Upstream commit e60d0d4dfddfac3058753a1c2255251401c92dad ]

of_clk_bulk_get() leaves 'clk_bulk_data->id' as NULL for every clock that
has no matching entry in "clock-names", which is legal: a node may list
more "clocks" phandles than it names. Both scans of the bulk array
dereference that id unconditionally, so such a node oopses during probe.

The loop in imx_pcie_probe() has been wrong since it was written. The
loop in imx_setup_phy_mpll() was not: it read a fixed clks[] whose ids
came from the driver's own clk_names[] and were never NULL, and only
became wrong when the driver moved to the bulk array.

Check 'clk_bulk_data->id' before dereferencing it in both.

Fixes: f6a1fdfc78e2 ("PCI: imx6: Use devm_clk_bulk_get_all() to fetch clocks")
Fixes: d8574ce57d76 ("PCI: imx6: Add external reference clock input mode support")

[ sashal: Omitted the extref clock-name guard because the corresponding scan is absent. ]
