I would vote for all clk lookup and reference counting code be made sleep-able and define it as such.Always has been and probably always will be.clk_enable/disable APIs have refcounting and they certainly aren't sleep-able. I'm not sure if that's what Ben meant though.
Ben's talking about clk_get/clk_put. See "clk lookup" in his sentence.
