: A83T - AC100 gets the wrong number of parents

Hey,

When I boot my A83T I get the following bootlog [1].

After some debugging, I found out that the function call:
clk_hw_get_num_parents() returns 2. After a look in the devicetree I found out that this value should be 1, since we only have one parent clock [3].
Setting the variable num_parents to 1 fixes the problem, but this is no soultion.

Regards,
Philipp

Not really. The first parent is registered within the rtc-ac100 driver, which also handles the clocks on the RTC side of the chip.

The clock in the device tree is meant to tie the two parts of the chip
together: the codec side provides a high speed clock to the RTC side.

A good fix would be to check the return value of clk_hw_get_parent_by_index()
here: http://lxr.bootlin.com/linux/v4.16-rc1/source/drivers/rtc/rtc-ac100.c#L186
and skip it if it's NULL.

The driver is setup this way because the codec side is not implemented, but the device tree binding is partially defined to include the clock.
