This series is prematured as today STiH415/416 is not broken by any commit. This series is depending on the merge of a ST's clock series not yet upstreamed. (see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9157571/) STMicroelectronics expect to remove STiH415/416 in a near future from upstream kernel. Patrice > > Arnd >
