[PATCH v3] i2c: davinci: fix division by zero on missing clock-frequency
From: Chaitanya Sabnis
Date: Fri May 15 2026 - 05:45:51 EST
When the 'clock-frequency' property is missing from the device tree,
the driver falls back to DAVINCI_I2C_DEFAULT_BUS_FREQ. However, this
macro was defined in kHz (100), whereas the device tree property is
expected in Hz.
The probe function divided the fallback value by 1000, causing
integer truncation that resulted in dev->bus_freq = 0. This triggered
a deterministic division-by-zero kernel panic when calculating clock
dividers later in the probe sequence.
Fix this by redefining DAVINCI_I2C_DEFAULT_BUS_FREQ in Hz (100000)
to match the expected device tree property unit, allowing the existing
division logic to work correctly for both cases.
