[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 119/126] clk: Don't try to use a struct clk* after it could have been freed

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Tue Jan 27 2015 - 07:21:45 EST


3.16.7-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tomeu Vizoso <tomeu.vizoso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 10cdfe54dab034311c8e2fad9ba2dffbe616caa9 upstream.

As __clk_release could call kfree on clk and then we wouldn't have a safe way
of getting the module that owns the clock.
