[alsa-devel] Question about of_clk_put ?

[Kuninori Morimoto]

Hi Stephen

Now, I'm using devm_get_clk_from_child() (= linux/drivers/clk/clk-devres.c)
and I got Oops if I do bind/unbind driver several times.

	[   32.008847] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address d503201faa1e03e0
	[   32.017124] pgd = ffff8006f9060000

	...

I tried to find the criminal point, but, I couldn't specify where it is.
Sometimes it is NULL pointer access crashed,
sometimes it is crashed on of_clk_src_onecell_get(),
sometimes there is no Oops.
I want to solve this issue, but I want to know about of_clk_put as 1st step.

In devm_clk_get() case, it is using clk_get() <-> clk_put() pair, this is OK.
In devm_get_clk_from_child() case, it is using of_clk_get_by_name() (= __of_clk_get())
<-> clk_put() pair.
If my understand was correct, __of_clk_get() uses __clk_create_clk(),
so, its pair should be __clk_free_clk() ?
I wonder I can find of_clk_get(), but couldn't find of_clk_put().
Is using of_clk_get() <-> clk_put() OK ?

Best regards
