[PATCH] [soc/renesas] renesas-soc: Add error handling in renesas_soc_init

From: Haoran Liu
Date: Wed Nov 29 2023 - 09:34:48 EST


This patch enhances the renesas_soc_init function in
drivers/soc/renesas/renesas-soc.c by adding error handling for the
of_property_read_string call. Previously, the function did not check
for failure cases of of_property_read_string, which could lead to
improper behavior if the required device tree properties were missing
or incorrect.

Although the error addressed by this patch may not occur in the current
environment, I still suggest implementing these error handling routines
if the function is not highly time-sensitive. As the environment evolves
or the code gets reused in different contexts, there's a possibility that
these errors might occur. Addressing them now can prevent potential
debugging efforts in the future, which could be quite resource-intensive.
