Hi Paul,

No, the sleeping clock case is and always will be a corner case, and I
have no interest in pretending otherwise. On SH we have hundreds of
clocks that are all usable in the atomic context and perhaps less than a
dozen that aren't (and even in those cases much of the PLL negotiation is
handled in hardware so there's never any visibility for the lock-down
from the software side, other architectures also have similar behaviour).

I'm not too worried about the corner-cases on the *implementation* side, more 
the corner-cases on the API side: are we seeing more users of the API that 
require an atomic clock, or more that don't care?

Cheers,


Jeremy
