Additionally you really don't want to delay for 10ms with interrupts
off :-(

Sadly, it looks like the clk framework already calls you with spinlock
irqsafe, which is a rather major suckage.

Stephen, why is that so ? That pretty much makes it impossible to
do sleeping things, which prevents things like i2c based clock
controllers etc...

I think the clk framework needs to be overhauled to use sleeping
mutexes instead. Doing clock enable/disable at interrupt time is
a bad idea anyway.


In the meantime, Joel, you have little choice but do an mdelay
though that really sucks.
