Subject: [PATCH v2] clk: ti: dra7-atl: don't allocate `parent_names' variable
Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2022 18:03:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221018160352.1591428-1-dario.binacchi@amarulasolutions.com> (raw)

The `parent_names' variable was freed also in case of kzalloc() error.
Instead of modifying the code to perform a proper memory release, I
decided to fix the bug by not allocating memory.
Since only one parent name is referenced, it is not necessary to
allocate this variable at runtime and therefore you can avoid calling
the kzalloc() function. This simplifies the code (even calls to kfree
can be removed) and improves the performance of the routine.

Note: Although no operation is performed by kfree() on a NULL pointer,
it was however suboptimal and semantically wrong doing it.

Changes in v2:
- Fix compiling error
- Add kernel test robot's Reported-by tag.
