The AMBA bus driver defines runtime Power Management functions which disable and unprepare AMBA bus clock. This is problematic for runtime PM because unpreparing a clock might sleep so it is not interrupt safe. However some drivers may want to implement runtime PM functions in interrupt-safe way (see pm_runtime_irq_safe()). In such case the AMBA bus driver should only disable/enable the clock in runtime suspend and resume callbacks. Detect the device driver behavior after calling its probe function and store it. During runtime suspend/resume deal with clocks according to stored value.

Driver shouldn't update their irq_safe value dynamically, right!?The driver shouldn't update it dynamically, and this makes sure *that* is enforced since we end up depending on that property. Hence the check is sensible (and I even suggested it.)
The WARN_ON could be nice to have, but I think this is a task for PM core to handle. Copying flags shouldn't be needed for each an every instance of a driver/bus that manage irq_safe devices. That's my main point.

+ + if (pcdev->irq_safe) + clk_disable(pcdev->pclk);Since the irq_safe flag, could be considered as a special case, an option for these cases - could be to leave the clock to be entirely handled from the driver's runtime PM callback instead.Too many sub-clauses to make much sense of that statement.
Sorry, agree. :-)
I don't want drivers messing around with this stuff. This is the /bus/ clock, not a device specific clock.
For irq_safe devices, driver's will need to handle the clk_prepare|unprepare during system PM anyway. That's the reason to why I suggested this. On the other hand I agree with you, it's a bus clock... Kind regards Uffe
