Thanks for bringing up that thread Shawn.  Just to clarify, I don't
oppose platform clock code living in drivers/clk/.  If it can be done
easily then I'm all for it.

I do oppose any _requirement_ for clock code to live there.  That
would be unreasonable for complex hardware.

For anyone planning on pushing their platform clock code into
drivers/clk/ I would encourage them to think long and hard on the best
ways to make that code useful to others.

Mike
