[ Upstream commit 8358a76cfb47c9a5af627a0c4e7168aa14fa25f6 ] Removing this assertion lets us move the kref_put() call outside the prepare_lock section. We don't need to hold the prepare_lock here to free memory and destroy the clk_core structure. We've already unlinked the clk from the clk tree and by the time the release function runs nothing holds a reference to the clk_core anymore so anything with the pointer can't access the memory that's being freed anyway. Way back in commit 496eadf821c2 ("clk: Use lockdep asserts to find missing hold of prepare_lock") we didn't need to have this assertion either.

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.
