I posted a patch for this (clk: Move devm_ APIs out of clkdev into
HAVE_CLK) towards the end of the last release cycle and I think reposted
it since and it had been sent to the patch tracker too (though I can't
find any record of anything except the submission mail now).  It would
be *really* good to get this merged.

Who's looking after clkdev these days?  Mike doesn't seem to take
patches as he's expecting Russell to take them which was happening for a
while but I'm not sure that's the case any more, especially given
Russell's followup here.  Due to the patch tracker the usual things for
following up on unapplied patches don't work terribly well, it's much
less likely that it's just an oversight there.
