As I wrote in the cover letter :
"The patch modifying the documentation still depend on the ones of the
clk series. For the ap806 a first stable branch is already available:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux.git/log/?h=clk-ap806"

In the previous version of the series the clk maintainer said they will
provide stable branch for the documentation. For ap806 it is already
done, but not yet for cp110. But if you still have problem with it Rob
offer to take care of the devie tree documentation.

Just let us know what you prefer.

To avoid this kind of issues the series are based on next-20170531 in
order to have in the same time the devel branch of the linux-gpio tree
and the devel branch of the linux-pinctrl tree.

I use the linux-next tree because you already picked up some patches of
my first series and applied it on your devel branches. If I rebased on
v4;12-rc2, obviously it won't work. So really basing the series on your
devel branch is the best thing to do.

I saw that you already applied the PWM patch so as soon as they were
visible on the devel branches I will rebased the series on it and submit
it a new version.

Thanks,

Gregory
