Hello Kuninori Morimoto,
The patch cc64c390b215: "ASoC: rsnd: adg: clearly handle clock error
/ NULL case" from Aug 20, 2021, leads to the following
Smatch static checker warning:
sound/soc/sh/rcar/adg.c:396 rsnd_adg_create_null_clk()
warn: passing zero to 'ERR_CAST'
sound/soc/sh/rcar/adg.c
386 static struct clk *rsnd_adg_create_null_clk(struct rsnd_priv *priv,
387 const char * const name,
388 const char *parent)
389 {
390 struct device *dev = rsnd_priv_to_dev(priv);
391 struct clk *clk;
392
393 clk = clk_register_fixed_rate(dev, name, parent, 0, 0);
394 if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(clk)) {
395 dev_err(dev, "create null clk error\n");
The clk_register_fixed_rate() function doesn't have any documentation,
but generally when functions return a mix of error pointers and NULL
then the NULL case means the feature is deliberately disabled. So it
should not print an error message. Perhaps an info message at most.
--> 396 return ERR_CAST(clk);
No need to cast this. The types are the same.
397 }
398
399 return clk;
400 }
regards,
dan carpenter
