This patchset tries to fill other side: an api for providing clocks. Currently each platform that wants to provide implementation is forced to reimplement everything from scratch. This leads for major code duplication. E.g. the ARM arch contains 13 implementations (one for each mach). Also there are implementations for AVR, MIPS, PowerPC and SH. This patchset implements the "management" part, so each platform would have to only implement few platform-specific parts. -- With best wishes Dmitry -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
