It was an old patch I hadn't yet reformatted to 75 cols. I used 50-60 cols before, because my mail client's preview panel is very narrow, so anything more than ~65 characters will wrap. If there will be a v5, I'll reformat it to 75 cols as well, as per the style guidelines.

How good does such a change combination fit to the patch requirement
according to separation of concerns?

It is a general refactor patch, it shouldn't change any functionality. I could split it to one part introducing `devm_clk_get_enabled()` and the other `dmaenginem_async_device_register()`, but I don't feel that to be necessary, nor does it bring any advantages I believe.

Regards,
Markus
