To clarify, we've been expecting an ack from Chris Ball on the sdhci
patch all along. When that didn't come, the
"ARM: dts: bcm281xx: define real clocks" had to be dropped. The fallout
is that the original reason for taking the clk driver through arm-soc
for 3.14 is no longer valid.

Ideally we'd love an 11th hour ack and be able to use the common clock
driver in 3.14 but we can carry that to 3.15.
