Yes, I was waiting for v3.12-rc1 to drop to have something stable with
the new machs inside. I haven't made up my mind who will finally take
the patches but I guess it's either arm-soc or each individual
maintainer.

Currently, the patch set includes your original patch and another one to
remove .init_time when the arch-wide default callback is available. If
you want to take it now, I can add the corresponding dependency to the
cover letter and drop the patch from my set.

If Arnd, Olof, and Mike say that current mainline head is stable with
respect to arm-soc and clk, I can also send it today or tomorrow.
