clk: Sanitize possible_parent_show to Handle Return Value of of_clk_get_parent_name
commit ceb87a36 upstream. In the possible_parent_show function, ensure proper handling of the return value from of_clk_get_parent_name to prevent potential issues arising from a NULL return. The current implementation invokes seq_puts directly on the result of of_clk_get_parent_name without verifying the return value, which can lead to kernel panic if the function returns NULL. This patch addresses the concern by introducing a check on the return value of of_clk_get_parent_name. If the return value is not NULL, the function proceeds to call seq_puts, providing the returned value as argument. However, if of_clk_get_parent_name returns NULL, the function provides a static string as argument, avoiding the panic.
