[PATCH] clk: Check parent for NULL in clk_change_rate

From: Pawel Moll
Date: Fri Jun 08 2012 - 09:04:15 EST


clk_change_rate() is accessing parent's rate without checking
if the parent exists at all. In case of root clocks this will
cause NULL pointer dereference.

This patch follows what clk_calc_new_rates() does in such
situation.

Hi Mike,

This is something I had to workaround to get Versatile Express
working with the common clock framework - my root clocks aren't
are variable (as in: non fixed).

I'm told that this might have been already fixed - if that's the
case simply ignore this patch. Also I'm not saying it's the best
way of solving the issue :-)

Cheers!

Pawel
