Sorry, should have just used clk-next directly instead of the HEAD of
linux-next at the time. Just hard to keep track of all of the different
maintainer trees so it is easier to just use linux-next.

I do forget to use the output of --scm from
get_maintainer.pl though, I should use that more often.

Thank you for picking it up!

Nathan
