That is true in general - the clk has to be enabled in certain cases. However you did not say at all when you want this clock to be enabled... and the your patch enables it for entire lifetime of device. > If you feel the we should not enable these clk, them I will drop the > clk_prepare_enable check > and resubmit the changes with better commit message. I don't know. This was fifth email in this thread and it is the first time some real problem is mentioned. Still the issue is not described entirely so I really do not have a clue whether this patch fixes something or not. What is more, you mentioned falling pm-qa tests here (not in commit msg) but did not say whether this patch fixes anything or not. So let me summarize it: 1. You did not describe the problem you want to fix. 2. The patch looks incorrect because it enables the clock for entire lifetime of device which we do not want. 3. The patch might or not might fix some problem. We even do not know what... 4. The clock not being enabled when not needed... is obviously not a problem. Please start from beginning. Find the problem, tell us how it can be reproduced and deliver a single patch which fixes the problem. This pattern of your code - fixing something without describing the problem - happened many time before. I repeated this some times before as well. I would prefer not to repeat to many times. Therefore I would be happy if you follow the path mentioned in paragraph before always: find the problem, tell how it can be reproduced, deliver single patch which fixes the problem.
