Subject: [PATCH] clk: disable unused clocks registered after boot
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 16:40:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917144011.3014860-1-alexandre.belloni@bootlin.com> (raw)
From: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@bootlin.com>
clk_disable_unused() only runs once as a late_initcall, so clocks
registered afterwards by loading a module are never checked and may be left
running needlessly.
So record when clk_disable_unused has run and afterwards, schedule a
delayed work to run the scan when new clocks are registered.
