If HDMI driver does not build because of clock driver, something is
really wrong at the basics level. Therefore I am sure my statement was
fair,. based on Shreeya statement of build failure.

I am sorry, but independence of drivers and independence of DTS is a
basic thing, so to solve such you can easily get help internally from
your experienced folks (which you have).
