[PATCH 2/6] clk: qoriq: Fix clock reference leak in input_clock_by_index()

From: Wentao Liang

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 00:30:19 EST


input_clock_by_index() obtains a consumer clock with of_clk_get() and
hands it to input_clock(), which only uses __clk_get_name() to read the
clock name and then registers a new fixed factor clock. The consumer
clock itself is discarded without clk_put(), so the reference returned
by of_clk_get() is never released.

Release the reference with clk_put() once input_clock() is done with
the clock, mirroring the pattern used by of_clk_get_parent_name().

Fixes: 80b4ae7acea4 ("clk: qoriq: Separate root input clock for core PLLs on ls1012a")
