[bug report] ARM: Orion: fix driver probe error handling with respect to clk

[Dan Carpenter]

Hello Simon Baatz,

The patch baffab28b131: "ARM: Orion: fix driver probe error handling
with respect to clk" from Jul 19, 2012, leads to the following static
checker warning:

	drivers/mtd/nand/orion_nand.c:172 orion_nand_probe()
	warn: 'clk' was already freed.

drivers/mtd/nand/orion_nand.c
   150          /* Not all platforms can gate the clock, so it is not
   151             an error if the clock does not exists. */
   152          clk = clk_get(&pdev->dev, NULL);
   153          if (!IS_ERR(clk)) {
   154                  clk_prepare_enable(clk);
   155                  clk_put(clk);

Huh?  Apparently clk_get() and clk_put() are not ref counted
opperations?

You would think they would be from the name.  What it looks like to me
is that clk_put() should be renamed clk_free().  The comments on
clk_put() are not totally clear on this.  I'm just joking.  :P  There
aren't any comments...

   156          }
   157  
   158          ret = nand_scan(mtd, 1);
   159          if (ret)
   160                  goto no_dev;
   161  
   162          mtd->name = "orion_nand";
   163          ret = mtd_device_register(mtd, board->parts, board->nr_parts);
   164          if (ret) {
   165                  nand_release(mtd);
   166                  goto no_dev;
   167          }
   168  
   169          return 0;
   170  
   171  no_dev:
   172          if (!IS_ERR(clk)) {
   173                  clk_disable_unprepare(clk);

Any later reference to "clk" after clk_put() is a use after free.

   174                  clk_put(clk);
   175          }
   176  
   177          return ret;
   178  }
