Sorry for the confusion, I quickly had a look on the MAINTAINERS file and
didn't realized that the drivers/clk/clkdev.c file was not part of clk

So, as you are going to take care of all the patches it is even simpler.
You can take this one too: in mvebu there is no change on this file for
this release so there won't be any conflict.
