I can pick up the patches in the clk tree. Clk drivers will be the users
so it's probably simplest to merge the clkdev patch in clk tree and then
consumers can be updated at the same time in a patch stack on top of
that. Otherwise, if I can get a stable branch/tag to pile the clk driver
patches on I can apply them that way and then the clkdev patch can go
via Russell.
