oh, you might have misunderstood my comment. I'm saying that there is
more than one thing you could cache in your private structure. That's
all.

heh, it's not about using it as an error pointer. I'm merely trying to
make clk optional. NULL is a valid clk, meaning you won't get NULL
pointer dereferences when passing it along clk_*() calls (if you find
any, it's likely a bug in CCF), so NULL can be used to cope with
optional clocks:

         clk = clk_get(dev, "foo");
         if (IS_ERR(clk)) {
         	if (PTR_ERR(clk) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
                	return -EPROBE_DEFER;
                else
                	clk = NULL;
         }

even if you use a raw GPIO, polarity and duration must come through DT.

with open source code, that's a rather poor excuse, Peter.

why ?
