I see this touches pinctrl and clk drivers, but none of the maintainers are
on Cc for this pull request, nor have they provided an Ack for the patches
according to your git log.

Why did you not send the driver changes to them?

My bad sorry. The changes only touch data (adding new varaiant of the
orion5x), are very trivial and won't cause any merge
conflict. Furthermore there is depency with the other pacthes in the
mvebu branches and we already did this in the past to avoid dependecy
between subsystem. _But_ I should have asked the acked-by from the
drivers maintainers, it was the way we wolved it in the past and I
forgot it.

Not pulled for now, until this is resolved, sorry.

If the drivers maintainer for pinctrl and clk give their acked-by do you
agree to take it for 4.9?

Thanks,

Gregory
