Since this is basically a hack to work around limitations of the current

	/*

	 * and runtime pm") the change to the l3_init_44xx_clkdm
	 * flags should be dropped.  It limits the low-power state that
	 * the chip can enter.

Do you really want to continue pissing Linus off with churn like this
rather than pressing to get problems fixed _properly_ (eg, getting the
HSMMC driver fixed) ?
