Hi All, I'd very appreciated if someone can clarify one point for me. Is allowed/expected/prohibited to use CLK API like clk_enable/disable in atomic context now on RT-Kernel (HW IRQ or under RAW spinlocks)?
It's not possible, if the spinlock in the clock framework is not a raw spinlock.
How safe is it to allow CLK API to be preemptive?
The functions are protected by the locks. So it's not an issue at all. Thanks, tglx
