Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 3/9] arm: twr-k70f120m: clock driver for Kinetis SoC

Arnd, Thomas,

Thanks for your valuable input and for your patience.

I'm attaching yet another proposal for this clock driver. I've 
flattened the .dts and ensured register access protection. I've also added 
one more clock source (osc0er) and clock gate to it.

Can you comment this one too?
