Did you mean clk_get() as the second one? > an error. > > Signed-off-by: Mathias Kresin <[email protected]> Tbh, I'd rather have this fixed at the source than adding a workaround to consumers, to have a consistent API across implementations (with drivers/clk/clk.c as the reference). And there don't seem that many, at least searching for clk_get_rate gave me only two handful of implementations of which many already check for NULL. Regards Jonas
