The original is fscked. Calling __clk_get() outside of any lock is a serious bug and leads to races. Also, a failing __clk_get() probably should not drop through to clk_get_sys(), but should instead do this: if (!IS_ERR(clk)) { if (!__clk_get(clk)) clk = ERR_PTR(-ENOENT); return clk; } since a _found_ clock but one which can't be used (due to the module going away) is not a reason to drop through to clk_get_sys(). Which means your change should look like this: if (!IS_ERR(clk)) { if (!__clk_get(clk)) clk = ERR_PTR(-ENOENT); return clk; } if (PTR_ERR(clk) == -EPROBE_DEFER) return clk;

This is broken - it will never fall through if a 'dev' is given, because of_clk_get_by_name() will always return an -EPROBE_DEFER error pointer in that case. So this approach is unworkable.

And another comment: This whole approach is broken - while Mark is correct that we should find a way to return -EPROBE_DEFER if a clock is specified, the solution here does not allow that - it will return -EPROBE_DEFER whenever the clock is not found _or_ is not specified. This has the effect of making the external clock *non*optional for the kirkwood-i2s driver, which is also completely broken.

It works fine for me (I tried both cases, with and without the external clock). The scheme is as follows: - kirkwood-i2s kirkwood_i2s_dev_probe() calls: priv->extclk = &pdev->dev, "extclk"); - devm_clk_get() calls: clk = clk_get(dev, id); - clk_get() does: if (dev) // this is the case clk = of_clk_get_by_name(dev->of_node, con_id); - of_clk_get_by_name() does: if (name) // this is the case index = of_property_match_string(np, "clock-names", name); Here, if the external clock is declared in the DT, index is >= 0. If there is no externel clock in the DT, index is < 0. clk = of_clk_get(np, index); if (!IS_ERR(clk)) break; else if (name && index >= 0) { pr_err("ERROR: could not get clock %s:%s(%i)\n", np->full_name, name ? name : "", index); return clk; } - If the index is < 0, of_clk_get() immediately returns -EINVAL. So, kirkwood-i2s knows there is no external clock. DONE. - otherwise, if the index is >= 0 (the external clock is declared in the DT), of_clk_get() gets the phandle (of_parse_phandle_with_args()) and gets the clock (of_clk_get_from_provider()). This last function returns either the clock (device initialized), a -EPROBE_DEFER error (clock not yet initialized) or some other error (bad DT or clock error). So, kirkwood-i2s knows there is a declared external clock and it acts according to the return code (accept, defer or ignore). DONE. Did I miss something?

At probe time, a clock device may not be ready when some other device wants to use it. This patch lets the functions clk_get/devm_clk_get return a probe defer when the clock is defined in the DT but not yet available.
