Generally I would like to, but I also don't have time to hunt around
the internet for a downstream kernel tree. My rationale was that the
submitter is most likely to know where the downstream code is, and is
likely using it for the upstream clock implementation. So, linking to
it as part of the submission should hopefully be fairly easy.

If it is a Samsung SoC for which no public code is available that's
fine. I didn't intend this to be a hard requirement: "you can't
upstream x,y,z unless you link to the cal-if code". I meant it more as
"best practice/guidance"; if the cal-if code is publicly available,
linking to it would be a useful reference for reviewers.

Thanks,

Peter
