I merged the entire series of the base platform support along with
a few core drivers. I had asked for the series to be submitted to
soc@kernel.org after all parts had been reviewed, but I missed that
the clk driver was still missing maintainer review (I saw you had
reviewed some patches, but apparently that was just the binding,
not the driver).

I rebased the 'arm/newsoc' branch the other day to fix another mistake,
so if you prefer, I can rebase it again and drop the clk driver or
all the sparx5 patches.
