Subject: [PATCH] Don't mark shared helper functions as inline

The helper functions that access the opaque struct clk should
not be marked inline since they are contained in clk.c, but expected
to be used by other compilation units. This causes compile errors
under gcc-4.7

In file included from arch/arm/mach-omap2/clockdomain.c:25:0:
arch/arm/mach-omap2/clockdomain.c: In function ‘clkdm_clk_disable’:

Hi Russ,

A fix for this was merged into rc7. See 93532c8a, "clk: remove inline
usage from clk-provider.h".

Regardless, I'm still considering this patch. I've heard many times
that we should trust the compiler to optimize for us and some folks look
down on inlining in general. If anyone has an opinion on removing
inlines from the common clk core then please do speak up.

Russ, can you update to the latest rc and verify if that fix is enough
for you?

Regards,
Mike

You should take a look at "Chapter 15: The inline disease" in
Documentation/CodingStyle.

Yes, that commit fixes the compile issue too. I'd go with the more
complete removal of inlines though. If you have a declaration in a
header, it makes no sense to call it inline in the .c
