Great, thanks.

Yes, you will still send clk-3.7 pull request to Linus.  There is
nothing changed on clk tree process.  The only thing you need to ensure
is that clk-3.7 is stable.

When I send imx and mxs dt branches to Arnd and Olof, I will tell them
that the branches get a dependency on clk-3.7.  They will pull your
branch into arm-soc as dependency/clk-3.7 (something like that), and
build arm-soc/next on top of dependency/clk-3.7 and imx/mxs dt branches.
During merge window, none of the dependency/* branches will be sent by
Arnd and Olof.  Instead, they will keep an eye on whether those branches
have been merged to Linus' tree, and will only send imx/mxs dt branches
to Linus after clk-3.7 gets merged for this example.
