Ouch, sorry for that, and thanks for the report. But that's a fragile
feature of the sunxi clock driver in general, isn't it? I wonder if we
should always end those arrays with:
[CLK_NUMBER] = NULL,
to be on the safe side. This would increase the flexible array
be one element, but that doesn't really harm, since .num limits
the traversal.
Otherwise we would always rely on the last clock to be always
explicitly listed, while we are fine with clocks in the middle missing.
Or in this case we could also say:
[CLK_R_APB1_RTC] = NULL,
But I guess since this particular clock is actually there in the H6, you
prefer it to be listed properly?

CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED sounds better to me, in this case.
I will try and test this on an H6 as well, this time ;-)
Thanks,
