You mean struct clk.

As I said on our call on Thursday, everyone knows this, and it's
something that has been worked on for the last year.  Concensus had
been reached and everyone had settled on a proposal, and just when
we were almost ready to merge it, the concensus fell apart again.

As a result of that, a common struct clk has been delayed - it's not
going to be in place for 2.6.40 (three months) but maybe we can reach
concensus again for the .41 merge window.

As I also said, this issue was talked about in a session at the Linaro
conference, and it will be interesting to hear what the result of that
session was.  At the moment, I'm entirely out of the loop on many things
that were discussed there (except for a message from tglx.)
