    clk: tegra: Fix refcounting of gate clocks · c592c8a2
    Dmitry Osipenko authored
    The refcounting of the gate clocks has a bug causing the enable_refcnt
    to underflow when unused clocks are disabled. This happens because clk
    provider erroneously bumps the refcount if clock is enabled at a boot
    time, which it shouldn't be doing, and it does this only for the gate
    clocks, while peripheral clocks are using the same gate ops and the
    peripheral clocks are missing the initial bump. Hence the refcount of
    the peripheral clocks is 0 when unused clocks are disabled and then the
    counter is decremented further by the gate ops, causing the integer
    underflow.
    
    Fix this problem by removing the erroneous bump and by implementing the
    disable_unused() callback, which disables the unused gates properly.
    
    The visible effect of the bug is such that the unused clocks are never
    gated if a loaded kernel module grabs the unused clocks and starts to use
    them. In practice this shouldn't cause any real problems for the drivers
    and boards supported by the kernel today.
