Linus, CCing you in as apparently you're taking over the clock API work.
Do you need me to forward all the patches to you?

along these lines, i dont think the new people on the cc noticed my earlier e-
mail:
for future series, could you cc uclinux-dist-devel at blackfin.uclinux.org ? ?we
dont do clock management on Blackfin parts atm, but it's something we would
like to start doing. ?our hardware can easily benefit from this.

Except that, AFAIK, arch/blackfin/mach-xxx is much similar with
arch/arm/mach-xxx with a lot of platform, i2c, spi board information.
it is probably we can also benefit from device tree as what ARM is
doing.

i dont think device trees are a requirement for the clock api

but not sure whether it is really worthwhile for the current situation
and long term plan of blackfin. Anyway, there are not so many blackfin
SoC and boards as ARM.

there are not plans for device tree support.  no customers have asked
for it, and we arent in the arm situation where we have a distro (like
Ubuntu) riding us to have a single build boot on all the different
platforms.
