Yes, but that means that the devicetree patch is dependent of the clock patch,
but the clock patch is independent from the media patches, and can therefore be
applied through the clock tree as usual.

So, the media patches (first three) can be merged through the media tree, the
clock patch (patch 4) through the clock tree independently, and the only
requirement is that the DT patch (last one) is only applied by Matthias after
the clock patch is present, to avoid build problems, and also after the media
patches are present, to avoid dt-binding errors.

Thanks,
