This series only touches drivers/clk, so it shouldn't cause any issues
with other subsystems, unless there's a topic branch somewhere, or I'm
missing something?

There are some drivers under drivers/clk/ where there is an entry in the
MAINTAINERS file that's not Stephen, although it wasn't clear to me if
all of those people will send PULL requests to Stephen. I described on
the cover how how the series was broken up.

  - Patches 4-70 are for drivers where there is no clk submaintainer
  - Patches 71-110 are for drivers where this is an entry in MAINTAINERS
    (for drivers/clk)

For the clk subdirectories that had say more than 3 patches, I sent
those off as separate patch series. The ones in this series have an
entry in MAINTAINERS only have a few patches for each maintainer.

As for patch dependencies, patches 111 (clk/divider) and
114 (clk/fixed-factor) should go in last. It doesn't matter the order
everything else goes in.
