As this is a bugfix, should we backport it to stable kernels? When you
fix a bug,
I generally recommend including a 'Fixes' tag with the commit ID of the patch
that introduced the problem, and either a 'Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org' tag
if you want it backported, or an explanation in the changelog why it should
not get backported. This really helps Greg and the other stable maintainers
trying to make a decision what to backport and what not.

We could do this, and I generally follow the practice of adding Fixes
tags. I hadn't because without an upstream clock driver, the Aspeed
port is not usable by anyone without making modifications. We're
really depending on getting that code merged.

I will send it as a fix to 4.15. Do you mind taking individual patches
for the arm dt tree, or would you prefer a pull request?

Cheers,

Joel
