What is the best solution here?

I can base my branch on top of one of yours if the goal is to have
clk-next be a one-stop-shop for folks trying to port their platforms
over to the new struct clk.

On the other hand maybe the platform folks that are trying to convert
to struct clk should just base their work on top of your for-next
branch and my clk-next, merged locally.

In the mean time I'll go through my branch today and see which patches
collide with ones you have already merged.  My branch is quite small
(less than two dozen patches) so removing collisions will be easy.

Regards,
Mike
