Mark, I like this change but it's reminded me of a few things I meant to
bring up on the list in the past. Certainly some folks will mark their
struct clk_hw_init data as __initconst. Currently none of the
documentation mentions that fact and I'm a bit worried about clk code
which assumes that hw->init will always be around and freely accesses
it.
I think that, as a rule, hw->init cannot be assumed to be valid after
clk_register returns. Would anyone else like to weigh in on it? If so
then I'll cook up a follow-up patch to reflect this in the kerneldoc.
If you mean hw->init pointer can't be assumed to be point to anything
valid after clk_register or __clk_register, then yes, I agree with that.
But the actual data that hw->init pointed to might still be around and
referenced by clk if __clk_register is used.
Btw, I didn't follow up on the other thread we were having, but can you
remind me again what was the reason that you thought that only
__clk_init() would work for your static init code and __clk_register()
won't work? Or did I just misunderstand your comment that was trying to
say that you didn't want to switch to __clk_register close to kernel
release?
There are some older threads where I think we are a bit out of sync on
the init data (I thought I did what you said you preferred, but you
asked me why I did that). I will try to restart them.
Thanks,
Saravana
Thanks,
Mike
