Okay, that's really not nice.
This is _not_ a question for Stephen. Stephen does _not_ co-maintain
clkdev or the clk API, but co-maintains CCF. I've no idea why you are
addressing this to Stephen when this is clearly a question for me to
answer.

Technically, it is redundant anyway, as I'm listed for all arch/arm
changes. However, the maintainership of arch/arm and the maintainership
of clkdev are separate, the explicit entry is quite right.
It's also right that it's retained, because if we stop using the generic
clkdev.h header, I want to be copied on such a change, and this entry
will allow checkpatch to list me as clkdev maintainer.
