[PATCH v4 0/5] clk: Support spread spectrum and use it in clk-scmi

[Peng Fan]

Hi Stephen,

> Subject: [PATCH v4 0/5] clk: Support spread spectrum and use it in clk-
> scmi

Since clk-scmi.c for spread spectrum support needs some big changes,
we may need to change scmi framework to make OEM extension
in an elegant way. This will needs some time.

To patch 1-4, do you think is it ok to be in linux tree without patch 5?
If yes, I will post V5 soon with your comments in patch 2 addressed.
Otherwise I have to carry patch 1-4 in future clk-scmi patches.

Thanks,
Peng.
