Overkill for what? It adds no code, that will put no new maintainance
burden, without any duplication. While your code also adds all that.

We're all on IRC.

It's not really the point. The alignment of all your wrapped lines is
wrong.

You've removed the suspend code, and both Mark and I asked you to use
runtime_pm to handle your bus clock.

And this has also been asked for the codec.

Then something is wrong somewhere else that needs to be fixed, either
in the clock driver or in this driver. Did you update all the other
references to PLL2 as well?

Dropping the masking is also an option.

The point of this is that this is a discussion. You simply ignored
most of the comments, without even mentionning why you wanted to
ignore them, and simply sent a new version.

If you feel like one comment is invalid, let's discuss this, like you
did here. But silently discarding them is not an option and actually
quite rude.
