Hi,

In cpu exit function of a cpufreq driver:

         while (test_bit(cf750gxmChangingPllBit, &cf750gxvStateBits))
                 msleep(1);

This bit will get cleared by a notifier callback.

In module_exit function of a related module:

         while (test_bit(PLL_LOCK_BIT, (unsigned long *)&boot_ratio)) {
                 msleep(1);
         }

This bit will get cleared by a timer. It will also fire the notifiers 
needed above.

I don't think these are in interrupt context. The sleeps ok here?

Also, from checkpatch:

ERROR: do not initialise externals to 0 or NULL
#2483: FILE: arch/powerpc/kernel/cpu/pll_if.c:486:
+int rval = 0;

ERROR: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL
#2058: FILE: arch/powerpc/kernel/cpu/pll_if.c:61:
+static unsigned int override_bus_clock = 0;

Huh? What? Anyone care to teach an old dog a new trick???
