The bindings have been updated to support two clocks, but the original clock now requires the name fck to distinguish it from the other. Signed-off-by: Adam Ford <redacted>Thanks for your patch!quoted

So the driver has to keep on assuming the first clock is the functional clock, and this patch is thus not needed nor desired.Should I post a V2 with this removed, or can this patch just be excluded?
As far as I am concerned, it can just be excluded.
Patches 1 and 2+3 have to follow different maintainer paths anyway.
