Greg gave an Acked-by so I think Florian is good to take that patch. Which 
leaves us to the clock patches (driver + dt-bindings).

Steven reviewed the patches (driver + dt-binding) so he is waiting for a new 
version which addresses the review. He offered to either take them and provide a 
branch that Florian can merge into his branch or provide a Acked-by tag.

@Florian what would you prefer?
