SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] clk: at91: system: don't try to free_irq when there is no IRQ
Hi Alexandre,

Not sure this is really needed since free_irq() seems to gracefully
handle the case where the irq has not been previously requested [1]
(it does not complain about invalid irq descriptors), but I guess
this extra check cannot hurt.

BTW, that's kinda weird that free_irq() accepts this case, but complains
when you're trying to free a wrong (or already freed) shared irq handler
[2].

Best Regards,
