I was just trying to provide userspace access to these _unexpected_ clock status event indications (clock stopped, underrun, overrun or glitched) and UIO seemed like an easy way to do it and leave interrupt enablement and monitoring up to userspace. I'm not aware of any existing clock event notification framework. Are you suggesting that such a generic event notification mechanism should be added to the clk subsystem? e.g. additional clk_ops callbacks etc.? > > thanks, > > greg k-h Thanks for the review, Harry
