Subject: [BUG] zynq | CCF | SRCU

Hi,

we recently encountered some kernel panics when we compiled one of our
drivers as module and tested inserting/removing the module.
Trying to debug this issue, I could reproduce it on the mainline kernel
with a dummy module.

What happens is, that when on driver remove clk_notifier_unregister() is
called and no other notifier for that clock is registered, the kernel
panics.
I'm not sure what is going wrong here. If there is a bug (and if where)
or I'm just using the infrastructure the wrong way,... So, any hint is
appreciated.

I attach the output from the crashing system. The stacktrace indicates a
crash in 'srcu_readers_seq_idx()'.
I also attach the module I used to trigger the issue and a patch on top
of mainline commit a93cb29acaa8f75618c3f202d1cf43c231984644 which has
the DT modifications I need to make the module find its clock and boot
with my initramfs.

	Thanks,
	Sören
