Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-12-27 14:01:12 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

clk: ralink: mtmips: fix clocks probe order in oldest ralink SoCs

Base clocks are the first in being probed and are real dependencies of the
rest of fixed, factor and peripheral clocks. For old ralink SoCs RT2880,
RT305x and RT3883 'xtal' must be defined first since in any other case,
when fixed clocks are probed they are delayed until 'xtal' is probed so the
following warning appears:

 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

When this driver was mainlined we could not find any active users of old
ralink SoCs so we cannot perform any real tests for them. Now, one user
of a Belkin f9k1109 version 1 device which uses RT3883 SoC appeared and
reported some issues in openWRT:
- https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/16054

Thus, define a 'rt2880_xtal_recalc_rate()' just returning the expected
frequency 40Mhz and use it along the old ralink SoCs to have a correct
boot trace with no warnings and a working clock plan from the beggining.
