Kevin had concerns about the clocks being part of the power-domains and I don't see them actually addressed and/or Kevin being satisfied - actually he isn't even on the recipients list of this version of the series. @Ceasar: you should include people being part of important previous conversations in new versions of patchsets - especially when they have voiced concerns. I've added Tomasz whom I remember having previous experience on the Exynos Powerdomains, so maybe he can add some other perspective - new ideas. @Tomasz: this is the part of Kevin's concerns from v10 of the powerdomain series: Am Donnerstag, 13.
