[PATCH] Evdev: Fix bug in checking duplicate clock change request

From: Aniroop Mathur
Date: Wed Oct 28 2015 - 16:08:42 EST


From: Aniroop Mathur <a.mathur@xxxxxxxxxxx>

clk_type and clkid stores different predefined clock identification
values so they cannot be compared for checking duplicate clock change
request. Therefore, lets fix it to avoid unexpected results.
