[ this is an overview on how to split the series if necessary ]

this series
- fixes several drivers that are used in the MPC512x platform (UART,
  SPI, ethernet, PCI, USB, CAN, NAND flash, video capture) in how they
  handle clocks (appropriately acquire and setup them, hold references
  during use, release clocks after use)
- introduces support for the common clock framework (CCF, COMMON_CLK
  Kconfig option) in the PowerPC based MPC512x platform, which brings
  device tree based clock lookup as well

although the series does touch several subsystems -- tty (serial), spi,
net (can, fs_enet), mtd (nfc), usb, i2c, media (viu), and dts -- all of
the patches are strictly clock related or trivial

it appears most appropriate to take this series through either the clk
or the powerpc trees after it has passed review and other subsystem
maintainers ACKed the clock setup related driver modifications

It was suggested that the series may not be kept together when
applying, i.e. that individual patches may need to take separate
routes through individual subsystem trees.

Here is how the parts of the series interact:
- parts 01-14 are apparent fixes and improvements to existing
  drivers, they may immediately get applied via their respective
  subsystems when they are considered acceptable in review
  (number 13 already was taken into clk-next)
- parts 15-16 are device tree improvements (providing previously
  lacking information on the hardware, plus introducing support
  for symbolic references in DT nodes), and can get applied
  immediately via their respective subsystem
- part 17 introduces the platform clock driver which provides
  common clock support (uses shared drivers and common
  infrastructure, is an OF clock provider) -- this patch
  introduces _and_ enables the driver which strictly depends on
  the device tree update from part 16, and when common clock
  support gets enabled all peripheral drivers shall have received
  their clock API use cleanup
- part 18 introduces clock specs in the device tree which is used
  for client side lookups (from within peripheral drivers), this
  part must not get applied before the OF clock provider from
  part 17
- parts 19-21 and 23-28 further adjust peripheral drivers _after_
  the common clock support and OF clock lookup have become
  available, they strictly depend on parts 17 and 18, finally
  bring peripheral drivers into the common clock world and remove
  workarounds in the backend which support migration
- parts 22 and 29-31 finally remove remaining compat and
  migration stuff that has become obsolete after everything else
  was adjusted (I'd happily re-spin the series to move 22 to the
  end if eliminating this seemingly out-of-order item helps,
  currently it's at that position since it finishes what patch 20
  and 21 have prepared, while I did not dare to squash SPI and
  UART related patches since they reside in different subsystems)

The above results in the following stages, when the series needs
to get split:
- parts 01-16 could be taken immediately and need not be kept in
  any order, as they don't depend on each other
- parts 17-18 could be taken after 01-16 all are in place (while
  18 requires 17)
- parts 19-28 (see the remark on 22) could be taken after 17 and
  18 are in place (22 depends on 20 and 21 but may get moved to
  any later position at will, all other parts don't depend on
  each other and can get applied in any order)
- parts 29-31 (and 22 if not applied so far) could be taken after
  all parts up to 28 were applied


Please consider that I'm not trying to be pushy :)  but that I
want to provide all the possible help and information on how the
series might get applied, assuming that it will pass review.  So
far there has not been objection, all feedback got addressed,
while explicit ACKs still are pending.
