Subject: [PATCH] clocksource/drivers/timer-fsl-ftm: Fix clk reference leak in error paths
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 05:02:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915050258.1727196-1-vulab@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
__ftm_clk_init() obtains clock references with of_clk_get_by_name() but
never releases them on the error paths. If clk_prepare_enable() fails on
the counter clock, the reference is leaked. The second of_clk_get_by_name()
also overwrites the first clk pointer, so a failure to get or prepare the
ftm clock loses the counter clock reference as well; on the get failure
path the counter clock is left enabled and unreferenced.
Release the references on the error paths: clk_put() when prepare+enable
fails, and clk_disable_unprepare() followed by clk_put() when aborting
after the counter clock has been enabled. The clocks intentionally stay
enabled on the success path, so those are left untouched.
Fixes: 2529c3a33079 ("clocksource: Add Freescale FlexTimer Module (FTM) timer support")
