I wouldn't mind having this merged sooner rather than later, there is at least one driver in next which is currently broken due to the missing devm_clk_get. Russell what's your plan for the patch? Maybe under the given circumstances it makes sense to let it go through the m68k tree.Ok, I've merged it but there was no indication in the patch that it was supposed to be a fix... there's no cc: to stable. Does it need to go to stable? When was this brokenness introduced? What's the story for the m68k bit?
For the m68k issues this is not a candidate for stable. The breakage that this fixes did not occur until the 3.6 merge window. The fact that it fixes some breakage on some m68k platforms is more of a side effect, and the original patch author would not have known about this. The underlying problem was with the local m68k/coldfire implementation of devm_clk_get, but this patch makes that code go away completely.
