Let me elaborate:

The order of the patches in this series is such that every subsequent
patch adds some functionality (and, of course, applying patches one-by-one
yields a working kernel at every step). Specifically for patches 04--07:

 -- patch 04 adds interconnect _provider_ properties for Exynos4412;
 -- patch 05 implements interconnect provider logic (depends on patch 04);
 -- patch 06 adds interconnect _consumer_ properties for Exynos4412 mixer;
 -- patch 07 implements interconnect consumer logic (depends on patches
    05 & 06);

My reasoning is that this order allows to e.g., merge the interconnect
provider for exynos-bus and leave the consumers for later (not limited to
the mixer). I hope this makes sense.

OK.

Strangely enough, this file is where the 'exynos,parent-bus' (aka. 'devfreq')
properties are located (and everything in this RFC concerns devfreq).
