Re: [PATCH v2 3/3] ARM: EXYNOS5: save CLK_TOP_SRC3 register before powergating

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Choi,

The method "Save/restore clock source register - CLK_SRC_TOP3" was
suggested as well as preferred by our hardware team.

Would it be possible to give more information on this  alternate method ?
