I understand.
When do you plan to finish this job?
Would not it be better to prepare two sets of patches: first one for
linux-2.6/master with exported function, second for arm-platforms.git
with removing exported function and replacing use of it by
clk_get_rate(smp_twd) call?
Is there a chance in this case, that my patches will be merged much
earlier than yours?
If not, I will just rework patch 2/6 to remove exported and use only
clock interface.
Thanks,
Vitaly.
