Without actually explaining why which isn't terribly helpful :/

As far as I can tell it looks like this is for headers which may
optionally be absent but clkdev.h is a header which should never be
absent, either the architecture defines it or it uses the generic one.

As I said further up the thread having to go round ever single
architecture and get them to actually apply patches for stuff like this
is needlessly painful.
