I should have probably tried this before, but when I enabled lock
debugging with this driver, I got this:

It appears that in omap_dm_timer_request() there is a call to
spin_lock_irqsave() and then, as visible on the back trace,
clk_get_sys() takes a mutex lock while the spinlock is still held.
To me it appears commit 3392cdd33a0 might have introduced this problem,
but I'm not sure.
Any thoughts?
