Sorry, I was going a bit too fast and didn't realize this wasn't in arch/riscv/
so I didn't wait for an ack.  I put it on my fixes branch, which is what I sent
for the RCs.  That's merged into linux-next as well, as far as I understand
that's the normal way to do things.  It ended up in Linus' tree as d0a5fdf4cc83
("clk: sifive: allocate sufficient memory for struct __prci_data"), which is in
rc3.

We don't really have a SiFive tree, the SiFive stuff just goes in through the
RISC-V tree.  In theory I've been meaning to split them up for a while, but
given the maintainers are the same I just never got around to doing so.

LMK if I screwed something up.
