Re: [PATCH] clk: raspberrypi: Handle cpufreq device registration failure

Hi Triet,

nice catch.

Am 18.09.26 um 06:41 schrieb Triet Hoang:
Check the return value of platform_device_register_data() when
registering the raspberrypi-cpufreq device and propagate the error
if registration fails.

This prevents the clock driver from reporting a successful probe
when the cpufreq device could not be registered.

Could you please add a Fixes tag?
Also it would be nice, if you can send a patch which also fixes drivers/firmware/raspberrypi.c

Thanks
