This patch series fixes a deadlock reported[1] on ChromeOS devices (Qualcomm sc7180 Trogdor). To get there, we allow __clk_release() to run without the prepare_lock held. Then we add runtime PM enabled clk_core structs to a list that we iterate and enable runtime PM for each entry before grabbing the prepare_lock to walk the clk tree. The details are in patch #4. The patch after that is based on the analysis in the disable unused patch. We similarly resume devices from runtime suspend when walking the clk tree for the debugfs clk_summary. Unfortunately this doesn't fix all problems with the usage of runtime PM in the clk framework. We still have a problem if preparing a clk happens in parallel to the device providing that clk runtime resuming or suspending. In that case, the task will go to sleep waiting for the runtime PM state to change, and we'll deadlock. This is primarily a problem with the global prepare_lock. I suspect we'll be able to fix this by implementing per-clk locking, because then we will be able to split up the big prepare_lock into smaller locks that don't deadlock on some device runtime PM transitions. I'll start working on that problem in earnest now because I'm worried we're going to run into that problem very soon.
