Re: [PATCH] clk: Add fault tolerance to of_clk_hw_onecell_get()

Hi Stephen:

    After reviewing all CCF drivers referencing of_clk_hw_onecell_get(),
I confirmed their corresponding binding *.yaml files define
'#clock-cells' as 'const: 1'.

Therefore, the case I previously described is currently disallowed.
Please ignore this patch. Thanks.

In specific cases, even a clk_provider managing only a single clock may
reference of_clk_hw_onecell_get() to access its member clocks, as seen
in implementations like clk-scmi.

For a clk_provider with only one clock, when calling
of_parse_phandle_with_args(), the phandle_args->args[] members are not
assigned. In this case, the reference to phandle_args->args[0] in
of_clk_hw_onecell_get() becomes invalid. If phandle_args->args[0]
initially contains a non-zero value, this will trigger an error.

Error conditions observed:

scmi_clk: protocol@14 {
reg = <0x14>;
#clock-cells = <0>;
};

phandle1: clock-controller@1 {
#clock-cells = <1>;
}

clock-consumer@2 {
assigned-clocks = <&phandle1 1>,
<&scmi_clk>;
assigned-clock-rates = <xxx>,
<xxx>;
}

Under these conditions, executing of_clk_set_defaults() triggers the
error: 'of_clk_hw_onecell_get: invalid index 1'.
Please write a KUnit test.
