Hi all,
The clk_init_data structure contains several mutually-exclusive members
for different methods to specify the possible parents of a clock,
prompting drivers to initialize only the members they need. However,
not initializing all members may cause subtle issues, which are only
exposed when CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE is
enabled.
Hence this series aims to make sure all members are fully initialized,
to avoid such bugs, and to prevent future breakage when converting
drivers to a different method for specifying the parents.
Part One[1] fixed all cases that I identified to be real bugs, in
response to a crash I saw on BeagleBone Black.
This series is the ARM/soc subpart of Part Two, which fixes remaining
cases that are currently harmless. These are still fragile, and may
cause future breakage when converting drivers to a different method for
specifying the parents.
Thanks for your comments!
