Hi all,
"%pCr" formats the current rate of a clock, and calls clk_get_rate().
The latter obtains a mutex, hence it must not be called from atomic
context. As vsprintf() (and e.g. printk()) must be callable from any
context, it's better to remove support for this (rarely-used) format.
This patch series:
- Changes all existing users of "%pCr" to print the result of
clk_get_rate() directly, which is safe as they all do this in task
context only,
- Removes support for the "%pCr" printk format.
Note that any remaining out-of-tree users will start seeing the clock's
name printed instead of its rate.
Thanks for your comments!
