My bad. I'm sorry for this. :(

Rafael,
A solution could be to make cpufreq_next_valid an inline function in cpufreq.h,
but as Viresh mentioned this would be very inefficient because of multiple copies.

So, maybe it's better to revert the 2 patches that don't depend on CONFIG_CPU_FREQ:

4229e1c61a4a ("sh: clk: Use cpufreq_for_each_valid_entry macro for iteration") and
04ae58645afa ("irda: sh_sir: Use cpufreq_for_each_valid_entry macro for iteration").

Do I need to send revert patches for the above?


Thanks,
Stratos
