No problem with that :)

It will be removed.
And.. omitting removal of that file is my mistake :(
Since clkdev for Exynos4 is not applied to of Joerg Roedel's iommu git
and drivers/iommu is not created in Samsung SOC git,
it is not simple to apply patch for both.

Thanks for pointing out it and I'll send a patch to remove those files
immediately.

On the other hands, merging those files will be also considered.
