The function dev_read_u32_default does not return an error and the variable 'val' is unsigned so testing for >= 0 will always be true. It looks like the code was attempting to return -1 if xtal-load-pf was not present but that cannot work. Instead use dev_read_u32 which returns an error code separately from writing the value into the passed pointer.

Signed-off-by: Andrew Goodbody <andrew.goodb...@linaro.org> --- Changes in v2: - Instead of removing the always true test use the non-default version of dev_read_u32 which can return an error while writing to a u32. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250723-cdce9xx_clk-v1-1-9cb1f7346...@linaro.org --- drivers/clk/clk-cdce9xx.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/clk/clk-cdce9xx.c b/drivers/clk/clk-cdce9xx.c index e5f74e714d5..996cc30683e 100644 --- a/drivers/clk/clk-cdce9xx.c +++ b/drivers/clk/clk-cdce9xx.c @@ -116,8 +116,7 @@ static int cdce9xx_clk_probe(struct udevice *dev) ret = clk_get_by_index(dev, 0, &clk); data->xtal_rate = clk_get_rate(&clk); - val = dev_read_u32_default(dev, "xtal-load-pf", -1); - if (val >= 0) + if (!dev_read_u32(dev, "xtal-load-pf", &val)) cdce9xx_reg_write(dev, CDCE9XX_REG_XCSEL, val << 3); return 0; --- base-commit: bd0ade7d090a334b3986936d63a34001d99722ad change-id: 20250723-cdce9xx_clk-9e1008c78db7 Best regards, -- Andrew Goodbody <andrew.goodb...@linaro.org>
