Subject: [PATCH] serial: of-serial: zero-out struct of_serial_info
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 14:18:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1414703913-1343-1-git-send-email-f.fainelli@gmail.com> (raw)

of_platform_serial_probe() invokes of_platform_serial_setup() with a
kmalloc'd struct of_serial_info cookie, which is not much of a problem
for most of the struct of_serial_info fields we access but info->clk.

On platforms which do not provide a clock phandle for their UART nodes
but do provide a 'clock-frequency' property, we basically leave the
info->clk variable uninitialized, and this craps out during
suspend/resume with oopses, crashes or warnings in the clock code.

Fix this by using kzalloc() which also zeroes-out the structure and
provides an initialized info->clk member set to NULL.

Fixes: 2dea53bf57783 ("serial: of-serial: add PM suspend/resume support")
Fixes: e34b9c94b6e8d ("[POWERPC] of_serial: add port type checking")

Greg, Jiri,

This fixes a regression introduced in 3.18-rc1, thanks!
