Hi, below a few comments related to error handling and possible
dev_err_probe() usage to savec a few LoC.

Hi,

there is no other kfree(() in this patch. It is handled by the framework
once the clk is registered or should there be another kfree() somewhere
or should pll be devm_alloc()'ed?
Could use the devm_kzalloc but the hw is sent to the devm function and
not the pll struct.

My point, as explained below is that some resources are managed (i.e. allocated by a devm_ function and released by the framework if the probe fails or if the driver is removed), but not all.

I think that it is not consistent and that maybe the release of the corresponding resources should be handled in a way or another.

Other resoruces are managed, but not this one.
Is it on purpose?
This is the fixed clock - the SoC Reference clock, what do you mean by
not managed?

clk_hw_register_fixed_rate() allocates some memory. If an error occures later on or if the driver is .remove()'ed, this memory will leak. (unless I missed something).

Most of your other function calls use some devm_ variant, so the corresponding resources are released automatically in case of error or if the driver is unloaed.

Is an error handling path needed or a devm_add_action_or_reset()?

+ if (IS_ERR(hw)) {
+ dev_err(dev, "npcm8xx_clk: Can't register fixed div\n");
+ return PTR_ERR(hw);

return dev_err_probe()?
it will save online but still enter to a bigger function, I am not
sure that the error will be EPROBE_DEFER, and we have returned the
error in the code.

It is mostly a matter of taste, so if you don't think my proposal improves anything, just forget about it.

Same here and in other calls below.

Same here. Error handling?
what do you mean?

I mean the same as above. clk_hw_register_mux_table() allocates some memory. If an error occures later on or if the driver is .remove()'ed, this memory will leak. (unless I missed something).

Error handling was not a really good wording. You should read "should the resources allocated by this function be released if an error occures below"


+ if (IS_ERR(hw)) {
+ dev_err(dev, "npcm8xx_clk: Can't register mux\n");
+ return PTR_ERR(hw);
+ }
+
+ if (mux_data->onecell_idx >= 0)
+ npcm8xx_clk_data->hws[mux_data->onecell_idx] = hw;

+ div_data->flags,
+ clk_base + div_data->reg,
+ div_data->shift, div_data->width,
+ div_data->clk_divider_flags,
+ &npcm8xx_clk_lock);

devm_clk_hw_register_divider()?
Will do.

Here, the devm_ alternative exist. But my point is the same as above. (release of resources in cae of error or if the driver is removed)


+ if (IS_ERR(hw)) {
+ dev_err(dev, "npcm8xx_clk: Can't register div table\n");
+ return PTR_ERR(hw);
+ }
