I was a bit too quick to send you this notification. I stumbled once more
on the detail that my source code analysis approach is incomplete for
static functions so far.

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/arch/arm/mach-davinci/clock.c?id=a7ca2bcf2d2ef15c343a12f2a4c2e06380a0f495#n47

I would like to apologise for confusion I introduced here.

Markus
