The notifiers in the clk framework might be a better place for this than
just simply hacking the logic into the .set_rate callback.
Ah, right.  How did I forget about that nice piece?

I haven't looked at the definition of hb_voltage_change but does the
call graph make any clk api calls?  Are you talking over i2c to a
regulator?  If so then you'll probably hit the same reentrancy problem I
hit when trying to make a general solution.
So, how is your "reentrancy in the common clk framework" series[1]
going on?  Haven't seen any update since August.
I've begun to look at a dvfs api that builds on top of the clock
framework, as opposed to using clk_set_rate as the dvfs api itself.
This eliminates the need for reentrancy, at least for the dvfs case.

I'll post more when I have it.  Honestly the reentrancy stuff was just
too ugly.  I might try again some day but for now I'm thinking a less
radical approach deserves consideration.

Thanks,
Mike
