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@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
