I posted a patch for this (clk: Move devm_ APIs out of clkdev into HAVE_CLK) towards the end of the last release cycle and I think reposted it since and it had been sent to the patch tracker too (though I can't find any record of anything except the submission mail now). It would be *really* good to get this merged. Who's looking after clkdev these days? Mike doesn't seem to take patches as he's expecting Russell to take them which was happening for a while but I'm not sure that's the case any more, especially given Russell's followup here. Due to the patch tracker the usual things for following up on unapplied patches don't work terribly well, it's much less likely that it's just an oversight there.
