[PATCH 5/5] clk: keystone: don't cache clock rate

From: <hidden>
Date: 2026-02-24 18:10:18
Also in: dri-devel, linux-clk, linux-devicetree, lkml
Subsystem: arm/texas instrument keystone clock framework, common clk framework, texas instruments' system control interface (tisci) protocol driver, the rest · Maintainers: Santosh Shilimkar, Michael Turquette, Stephen Boyd, Nishanth Menon, Tero Kristo, Linus Torvalds

From: Michael Walle <mwalle@kernel.org>

The TISCI firmware will return 0 if the clock or consumer is not
enabled although there is a stored value in the firmware. IOW a call to
set rate will work but at get rate will always return 0 if the clock is
disabled.
The clk framework will try to cache the clock rate when it's requested
by a consumer. If the clock or consumer is not enabled at that point,
the cached value is 0, which is wrong. Thus, disable the cache
altogether.
