Re: [PATCH] clk: probe common clock drivers earlier

[Linus Torvalds]

This is still in my "what happened to this" patch list..

I'm dropping it as I'll be without internet for a week and I'm trying
to make sure my pile is empty, but I'd like somebody to take a look at
it (Greg?) since it feels right to me.
