[PATCH] clk: uniphier: mux: fix signedness bug in get_parent
From: Anas Iqbal
Date: Wed Mar 18 2026 - 07:16:44 EST
The uniphier_clk_mux_get_parent() function returns a u8, but
propagates negative error codes such as -EINVAL and regmap_read()
failures. These values are implicitly converted to large unsigned
integers, resulting in invalid parent indices.
The clk_ops.get_parent() callback is expected to return a valid
parent index and does not support error codes. Fix this by returning
0 as a safe fallback in error cases.
Fixes: 734d82f4a678 ("clk: uniphier: add core support code for UniPhier clock driver")
