Ok. I have been looking into Exynos4 since Mr. Kim was already onto
Exynos5 common clock. Sure, we could do a cleaner Exynos4/5 common
clock series for v3.9. That would let both exynos4/5 to be built
together which otherwise this patch series would not allow.

I did try this sometime back for exynos4210 based origen board. But
did not make much progress since certain portions require the older
samsung gpiolib support and exynos4210 mainline device tree support
has migrated to newer pinctrl framework. There is some work here to do
and I will work with Mr. Kim on this.

Thanks,
Thomas.
