Subject: [PATCH] clocksource/drivers/sun5i: Handle error returns from devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive()
Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2026 16:40:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260205084037.3661261-1-nichen@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
The devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive() function may return an
ERR_PTR in case of genuine reset control acquisition errors, not just
NULL which indicates the legitimate absence of an optional reset.
Add an IS_ERR() check after the call in sun5i_timer_probe(). On error,
return the error code to ensure proper failure handling rather than
proceeding with invalid pointers.
Fixes: 7e5bac610d2f ("clocksource/drivers/sun5i: Convert to platform device driver")
