This patch fixes a bug, that prevents the Allwinner A83T and the A80 from a successful boot. You can find the shortend trace below:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 pgd = (ptrval) [00000000] *pgd=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 49 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 4.15.0-10190-gb89e32ccd1be #2 Hardware name: Allwinner sun8i Family Workqueue: events deferred_probe_work_func PC is at clk_hw_get_rate+0x0/0x34 LR is at ac100_clkout_determine_rate+0x48/0x19c [ ... ] (clk_hw_get_rate) from (ac100_clkout_determine_rate+0x48/0x19c) (ac100_clkout_determine_rate) from (clk_core_set_rate_nolock+0x3c/0x1a0) (clk_core_set_rate_nolock) from (clk_set_rate+0x30/0x88) (clk_set_rate) from (of_clk_set_defaults+0x200/0x364) (of_clk_set_defaults) from (platform_drv_probe+0x18/0xb0) To fix that bug, we first check if the return of the clk_hw_get_parent_by_index is non zero. If it is zero we skip that clock parent.
