I'm even more pissed at the CCF "maintainers" for giving a shit about the sanity of the stuff they are maintaining. One reason for this mess is that clk related patches go often unreviewed through SoC trees, which again is a problem of the maintainers who just let that happen. It's not enough to have an entry in MAINTAINERS along with a git tree in which random patches get collected. This 'shove crap in no matter what' mentality needs to stop if we don't want to end up with a completely unmaintainable nightmare.
