Thanks for the help and fixing this, but ..

If it's possible to revert the DT patch 3-5, then I'd be happy to take,
but if this is too much job, e.g. the net-next's main branch is imuutable
and reverting it will cause too much trouble, then I'm fine with current
solution - carry the fix via net-next tree..

But please use commit: 0f084b221e2c5ba16eca85b3d2497f9486bd0329 of
https://github.com/spacemit-com/linux/tree/k1/dt-for-next as the merge
parent, which I'm about to send to Arnd (the SoC tree)

BTW, The 'for-next' branch is a merged branch contains clock and DT patches
for SpacemiT SoC tree's which isn't immutable..

Let me know what I should proceed, thank you
