Re: [RFC,PATCH 1/2] Add a common struct clk

Hello,

I wonder why it's needed to reparent clocks during resume.  And where
exactly IRQs are disabled.  Hmm, this comment was initially introduced
by v2.6.28-rc7-180-gc3391e3, its commit log talks about cpufreq, not
resume.

Ben (Dooks): Is this still relevant?

Best regards
Uwe
