Spotted this as I was looking for another patch, hence the late reply.
But it seems this was never reviewed or merged.

What does the bigger picture look like? Do we have 3 APCS global, or
it's a single memory region that provides the 3 clocks? How does the
qcom-apcs-msm8916-clk with it's hard coded offset of 0x50 deal with
this? (Is this a single qcom-apcs-msm8939-clk that registers 3 clocks
instead? Making this patch unnecessary?)
