Yeah, it was just a handy way to store the state and keep the
amount of code down. But I don't really have any problem with
explicitly storing the state if you prefer that.

So would probably look something like:

struct sysclk_state;
int ret;

ret = arizona_force_sysclk(arizona, &sysclk_state);
if (ret) {
	//Handle error
}
ret = arizona_hardware_patch_wseq(arizona);
if (ret) {
	//Handle error
}
ret = arizona_restore_sysclk(arizona, &sysclk_state);
if (ret) {
	//Handle error
}

I will assume you want it updated to look like this so let me
know if not.

Thanks,
Charles
