Since a few kernel releases the Pogoplug 4 has crashed like this
during boot:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000002

This is because the "powersave" mux clock 0 was provided in an unterminated
array, which is required by the loop in the driver:
/* Count, allocate, and register clock muxes */
for (n = 0; desc[n].name;)
n++;
Here n will go out of bounds and then call clk_register_mux() on random
memory contents after the mux clock.
Fix this by terminating the array with a blank entry.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
