Adding Mike to the party ...

May be good to add some details about the exact problem seen.

I am seeing the same problem today with GCC 4.7 and Tony's master
branch. For a bit of background it seems that for 4.7 not having
the body of the inlined function available in the header is
causing this error. Another example here [1].

The actual compiler error seen for OMAP is ...

In file included from arch/arm/mach-omap2/clockdomain.c:25:0:
arch/arm/mach-omap2/clockdomain.c: In function âclkdm_clk_disableâ:
include/linux/clk-provider.h:338:12: error: inlining failed in call to always_inline â__clk_get_enable_countâ: function body not available
arch/arm/mach-omap2/clockdomain.c:1001:28: error: called from here

make: *** [arch/arm/mach-omap2] Error 2

Do we also need to remove the inline from the functions declared in
drivers/clk/clk.c too?
