The patch does not apply. However it is not your fault but a glitch in 
the previous pull request and the regression found in the Exynos MCT.

Apparently, Thomas had to drop the entire pull request while I thought 
he dropped only Will's changes.

A pull request with the previous changes for v6.17-rc1 and with the new 
changes for v6.18-rc1 is about to be emitted but without the Exynos MCT 
changes for the modularization. That means your change does not apply 
correctly anymore on the current changes.
