I had forgotten something obvious: keep_bootcon. With that, on the sbi
console I get a nice:

At least I had somewhere to start. Since QEMU repros, I continued there with:
$(QEMU)/qemu-system-riscv64 -s -S -M microchip-icicle-kit \
-m 2G -smp 5 \
-kernel $(vmlinux_bin) \
-dtb $(dtb) \
-initrd $(initramfs) \
-display none -serial null \
-serial stdio
Dumping the backtrace at the devm_clk_hw_register() callsites shows that
it passes for:
- the main pll in mpfs_clk_register_mssplls()
- the "cfg" clocks in mpfs_clk_register_cfgs()
- the first 4 periph clocks...
It fails on "clk_periph_timer" - which uses a different parent, that it
tries to find using the macro:
#define PARENT_CLK(PARENT) (&mpfs_cfg_clks[CLK_##PARENT].cfg.hw)
If parent is RTCREF, that becomes: &mpfs_cfg_clks[33].cfg.hw
And yeah, thats well beyond the end of the array!
Booting with gcc, and looking at the clock summary:
mssrefclk 1 1 0 125000000 0 0 50000 Y
clk_rtcref 0 0 0 1000000 0 0 50000 Y
clk_periph_timer 0 0 0 1000000 0 0 50000 N
This is reported correctly, so how this works for either gcc or clang now, or
gcc with the patches applied, I am not really too sure..
On v6.0-rc1, gcc and clang show:
mssrefclk 1 1 0 125000000 0 0 50000 Y
clk_rtcref 0 0 0 1000000 0 0 50000 Y
I guess this may fail gracefully as the pointer is actually null, but
the extra level of indirection added by my patch started tripping up
the error checking. I must just not have noticed because I added RTCREF
in a bit of a hurry trying to fix a bug in time for 5.18:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/986c73df-9634-d18b-eed3-37584fa2ea89@conchuod.ie/#t
Obviously I've got to fix the bug itself now, but now I am left wondering
about GCC's behaviour rather than clang/llvm's!
Thanks Nathan - if even just for being a rubber duck :)
