Hi Stephen,

Sorry for making such complex dependencies between the clk patches and
others in this series. And just like Matthias mentioned, the clock
patches are independent from others. I could resend a clock-only series
right away if each clock patch in v4 is qualified to merge into
clk-next.
If there still some provide need to be fixed, please let me know. I'll
fix them and send v5 only for clock.
