25de4ce5ed02994aea8bc111d133308f6fd62566. Earlier kernels still use
mach-omap2/timer instead of drivers/clocksource as these kernels still
depend on legacy platform code for timers. Note that earlier stable
kernels need also additional patches and will be posted separately.
I do not understand this paragraph.

What upstream commit is this?  And "posted separately" shouldn't show up
in a changelog text, right?

Can you fix this up to make this obvious what is happening here and make
a patch series that I can take without editing changelog text?

thanks,
