Subject: [PATCH] iio: adc: npcm: fix unbalanced clk_disable_unprepare()

The driver acquired the ADC clock with devm_clk_get() and read its rate, but never called clk_prepare_enable(). The probe error path and npcm_adc_remove() both called clk_disable_unprepare() unconditionally, causing the clk framework's enable/prepare counts to underflow on probe failure or module unbind.

The issue went unnoticed because NPCM BMC firmware leaves the ADC clock enabled at boot, so the driver happened to work in practice.

Switch to devm_clk_get_enabled() so the clock is properly enabled during probe and automatically released by the device-managed cleanup, and drop the now-redundant clk_disable_unprepare() from both the probe error path and remove().

While at it, drop the duplicate error message on devm_request_irq() failure since the IRQ core already logs it.

Fixes 9bf85fbc9d8f ("iio: adc: add NPCM ADC driver")

PATCH 1/3 iio: adc: fix the return value handle for platform_get_irq()

From: Ruan Jinjie <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit c09ddcdd4dd32ee9768dc233ead4b3d726f26d38 ]

There is no possible for platform_get_irq() to return 0 and the return value of platform_get_irq() is more sensible to show the error reason.

PATCH 2/3 iio: adc: npcm: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

From: Uwe Kleine-König <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 5253a5cc7709688b9a000f7928bfaa3366d0af98 ]

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.
