No, I meant the issue fixed by clocksource-tclib-add-proper-depend.patch
is introduced by clocksource-tclib-allow-higher-clockrates.patch so I
would think fixing clocksource-tclib-allow-higher-clockrates.patch is
preferable than having a separate patch.

But maybe you meant you wanted a patch to fix
clocksource-tclib-allow-higher-clockrates.patch

Hopefully, one day we will have a solution for that upstream (i.e. being
able to configure the clocksource and clockevent resolutions).
