Sorry. Apologies for the inconvenience. Had posted three patches in the
internal list

[PATCH PREVIEW 0/2] Add APSS clock driver support for IPQ5210 - [1]
[PATCH PREVIEW] dt-bindings: mailbox: qcom: add compatible for the IPQ5210 SoC - [2]
[PATCH PREVIEW] cpufreq: qcom-nvmem: Introduce cpufreq for ipq5210 - [3]

To test the cpufreq and thermal sensor based throttling all these patches
and the tsens was needed. So marked them as dependencies. Since there was
no negative feedback in the internal list, and the files had different
maintainers assumed the split is correct and posted the same for upstream
review.

Should I combine them and post?

Thanks
