rename vs change conflicts are usually handled, but not always.
The one thing that never works is when part of one file is moved
into another file (or two files get merged into one) and another
patch changes the same file.

If I understand the problem at hand correctly, the safe solution
should be to base the ux500 clk changes on top of c3b9d1db23c4e,
which is in the nomadik/plat-removal branch in arm-soc that got
merged into next/multiplatform. I would prefer if you use that
as a base instead of the larger next/multiplatform branch that
also contains vt8500 and other changes.
