Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] timekeeping: Introduce and use timekeeper_is_clock_valid()
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 08:17:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908-timekeeping-conditionals-v2-4-5ebc3e7e1da0@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908-timekeeping-conditionals-v2-0-5ebc3e7e1da0@linutronix.de>
If CONFIG_POSIX_AUX_CLOCKS is disabled only the core timekeeper exists
which is always valid.
Introduce and use a helper function to avoid the runtime conditional
in this case.
