[PATCH 0/3] pmdomain: rockchip: fix the probe error and deferral paths

Three fixes for what happens when a Rockchip power domain clock is not
available yet and rockchip_pm_domain_probe() defers:
1. (Igor Pecovnik) Only the clocks that were obtained are put; the
ERR_PTR() of the failing one triggered the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
__clk_put(), and the deferral reason was not recorded.
2. The error cleanup removes the parent/child links before the domains.
pm_genpd_remove() refuses a domain that is still a parent, and on
RK3588 (RKVDEC0/1 are children of both VDEC and VDPU) no ordering
avoids that, so devm freed domains that were still on gpd_list.
3. A deferral is no longer printed as an error by the callers, once
per probe attempt and twice for a nested domain.
Tested on an Orange Pi 5 (RK3588S) with test device trees that give a
power domain a clock which only appears about 26 s into boot, once on
PD_NPU (a top level domain) and once on PD_FEC (nested under PD_VI,
after 18 domains and their links were registered). With the series,
devices_deferred shows "failed to get clk at index 5", there is no
"failed to remove domain", list or slab corruption report (booted with
page_poison=1 init_on_free=1), no "-517" error lines, and the controller
binds later with each of the 26 domains listed once in
pm_genpd_summary. A host-side model of the probe and cleanup on the
board's DTB, deferring at each domain in turn, leaves freed domains on
gpd_list at 24 of 26 failure points without patch 2 and at none with
it. Normal boots are unchanged.
This series was developed with Claude (Anthropic) as a coding assistant:
it wrote the code of patches 2 and 3 and the commit messages, and I
reviewed and tested every change as described above. Patch 1 is Igor's
change with a rewritten commit message.
