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.

Do we really need a WARN_ON here. 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.

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
