Hi Arnd,

Appreciate you taking care of this!

Are these questions direct to me or Joel?

On our side we will be happy that you will start to merge Arbel
NPCM8XX without the clock driver, hopefully the NPCM8XX clock driver
will ACK soon and maybe you can merge it as well.

What do you say Joel?

Thanks a lot

Tomer
