So you were waiting with them for this patchset? If so, please don't
ever do this. There is no dependency here, but even if there was, you
waiting for the previous patchset did not solve that dependency. It
still could not be merged, because DTS cannot depend on drivers.

The actual problem is that because you did not show me anyhow that there
is DTS depending on binding headers (there was no this patchset), the
binding headers are ONLY on driver branch and as I said DTS cannot
depend on driver, cannot merge driver branch. Thus this cannot be
applied until clk driver get merged. You unnecessarily block your own
work for at least one release.

I already asked to read maintainer soc profile and ways how SoC trees work.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
