-This really might be the last review of the PTP hardware clock patch
-series. These patches apply on top of the timers/core branch in the
-tip tree.
+* Introduction
 
-* Why all the CCs?
-  - One driver is for PowerPC, and adds device tree stuff.
-  - One driver is for the ARM Xscale IXP465.
+  The aim of this patch set is to add support for PTP Hardware Clocks
+  (PHCs) into the Linux kernel.
 
-* PHC Patch ChangeLog
-** v12
-*** gianfar_ptp
-   - fixed up device tree
-   - inlined the header file
-   - use platform_ calls instead of deprecated of_ calls
-   - removed static global single instance
-   - removed John Stultz's ack from this patch
+  The first nine patches provide infrastructure supporting dynamic
+  POSIX clock devices. This new code will be useful for other kinds of
+  new clocks, not just PHCs.
+
+  The last four patches implement the PHC code.
+
+  Support for obtaining timestamps from a PHC already exists via the
+  SO_TIMESTAMPING socket option, integrated in kernel version 2.6.30.
+  This patch set completes the picture by allow user space programs to
+  adjust the PHC and to control its ancillary features.
+
+* Patch ChangeLog
+
+** v9
+*** dynamic posix clocks
+    - changed the kernel interface to be less idiosyncratic
+*** ptp hardware clocks
+    - changed the kernel interface to be less idiosyncratic
+*** posix clock/ntp syscalls
+    - completely removed the CLOCK_DISPATCH macro
+    - pick a bit for ADJ_SETOFFSET that is unused by BSD
+*** ixp driver
+    - resolved todo regarding npe to channel mapping
+    - removed weird CamelCase from register definitions
+    - removed wrapper functions for reading/writing registers
