I've created an immutable branch based on 3.19-rc1 with only this patch on it and I've merged that branch into the clk tree. Immutable branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux.git clk-has-parent You can see it merged into the clk tree here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux.git/commit/?h=clk-next&id=57386798f7db7f09d69f3b44fc66570e6db91bba Regards, Mike > > Thierry -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
