Hi Ilia,

So the patch looks good now. But I don't see how this series is going
to get merged. You are touching all parts of the kernel and no single
maintainer would be able to get these merged easily.

What I would suggest is that you divided the series in at least 3
parts.

- Patch 10 and 11, just the cpufreq stuff. So that Rafael can apply
  those independently. Also mention the dependency on my OPP patches
  in the cover letter for those two patches.

- All clk patches in another series, so that Stephen can apply them.

- And finally everything else to go via ARM-Soc.

Maybe things wouldn't be that simple, but that's what you would need
to do to get things merged. And please add all Acked by tags you got
to the patches.

For this patch:

Acked-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>
