[PATCH] clk: fix slab-use-after-free when clk_core_populate_parent_map failed
From: Yun Zhou
Date: Wed Apr 09 2025 - 04:34:32 EST
If clk_core_populate_parent_map() fails, core->parents will be immediately
released within clk_core_populate_parent_map(). Therefore it is can't be
released in __clk_release() again.
This fixes the following KASAN reported issue:
