Hi,

I'm ready to send a pull request for arm-soc-dt, but I need to understand how this dependency
should be worked out.

Should this be sent as a late pull request ?

The need for dt-include changes is one of my pet peeves these days,
since they require coordination between trees.

There's two ways to solve this:

1) Make sure that the branches you sent to other maintainers are
stable, that they merge them as-is and don't rebase. This is a
three-way handshake (we want to be cc:d on it). Then base your branch
on top of those two branches.

It may be possible, at least from the clock tree.

Anyway, it's good to know, if I had a single tree to synchronize with,
I'll eventually select this option...

or:

2) Avoid using the includes now, using numerical constants instead.
Then, after next merge window, follow up with a patch that converts to
symbols.

I will select this option for now, my ultimate goal is to have something booting
for 4.10, cleanup can really wait 4.11...

Thanks,
