omap_rtc_power_off() is never called in atomic context.
It calls mdelay() to busily wait, which is not necessary.
mdelay() can be replaced with msleep().

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.

I'm not sure about that one because this is a poweroff function so it
doesn't really make sense to sleep versus busy waiting (all the drivers
in power/reset use mdelay())

This power-off handler is called with interrupts disabled (as mentioned
in the function header) and must not sleep.

Thanks for your reply :)

I check the code again, and find that you are right.
Sorry for my incorrect report.


Best wishes,
