I'm not sure this is the right thing to do. I suspect this comes from the stupidly complex samsung code, and that this is actually safe - I suspect that s3c2440_clk_add() needs to be appropriately marked, but then you end up having to trace its call path through various structures etc. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
