Sorry if the description isn't clear.
a) these clocks are not critical for the system to work, and this patch fixes that.
b) the initial DTSI for gs101 used incorrect clocks for the serial, and it didn't
work. The work-around was to specify these clocks here as critical instead. Patch
#4 in this series has corrected the DTSI.
So there is no dependency between the DTS update and the driver update here as such,
no new properties, or otherwise.
That said, now that b) above has been fixed (in patch #4), it is OK to mark these
clocks as non-critical without any ill effects. That's all that is happening. I was
merely referencing that in the commit message.
I can rephrase things if you wish.
Cheers,
Andre'
