That's a good question. You are right that there's a handful of drivers
where this will create a merge conflict with some other work that's been
posted this development cycle due to other unrelated changes. I suspect
the majority of these will still apply cleanly.

This series doesn't remove round_rate from the clk core, and I'll post
that change once everything else has been merged across the tree. I've
been trying to catch any new round_rate implementations that are posted
in review.

7 of the 114 patches in this series needs a v2 with a minor fix. I see
several paths forward to merging this. It's ultimately up to Stephen how
he wants to proceed.

- I send Stephen a PULL request with all of these patches with the minor
  cleanups to the 7 patches. Depending on the timing, Stephen can merge
  the other work first, and I deal with cleaning up the merge conflicts.
  Or he can if he prefers to instead.

- Stephen applies everyone else's work first to his tree, and then the
  good 107 patches in this series. He skips anything that doesn't apply
  due to other people's work and I follow up with a smaller series.

I would prefer to not to have to post a v2 114 patch series if
possible.

If I don't hear back from Stephen about how he wants to proceed, then
I'm planning to send him a PULL request the week of Sep 1st.

Does this sound good? I'm open to other suggestions.
