Marking pll_factors() as noinline or putting asm("" : "+r"(source)); before the call to do_div() works around the problem.
If we do have to do something in the callers rather than in do_div() the annotation seems substantially more taseful than inserting a random asm into the code.
I agree. for this patch which will not be applied, people can just get information about how to workaround the gcc issue while they have the same problem. google can find there are other people who failed to compile wm8974 module too. eg. http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/03/30/%23ubuntu-arm.txt
Andrew Stubbs, Michael Hope in Linaro's toolchain team are working hard on this gcc issue. there have been many update today: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48783
