hwrng: fix division by zero in ks_sa_rng_init

[PATCH] hwrng: fix division by zero in ks_sa_rng_init

Posted by Nishanth Menon 1 week, 5 days ago

Fix division by zero in ks_sa_rng_init caused by missing clock
pointer initialization. The clk_get_rate() call is performed on
an uninitialized clk pointer, resulting in division by zero when
calculating delay values.

Add clock initialization code before using the clock.

Fixes: 6d01d8511dce ("hwrng: ks-sa - Add minimum sleep time before ready-polling")
