I think the latest is the best approach. This way the PWM and the DRM driver can handle their clock gating independently. BTW it's quite probable that the PWM don't really needs this clock except for register access. > > > > Best Regards, > > Boris > > -- > Boris Brezillon, Free Electrons > Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering > http://free-electrons.com > _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
