Chopping all the crud.

Actually that's not true, but it is superfluous in this case.

I will fix-up.

Great spot.  That should be 'clk'.

It works because the LPC clk is already on.

Actually instead of clk_put we should be using s/clk_get/devm_clk_get/.

You're right about the error paths.  I will enforce a better one.

Thanks.

Hmmm... what version is this?

[2 mins pass]

Oh rubbish.  I've been a silly boy!

[spoiler alert: take a look at the end of the RTC driver patch]

Will be fixed in v3.
