Is the problem that we're changing some dts files somewhere and
those platforms would stop booting if this change wasn't present?
Given that we're adding a new compatible it seems like we're
adding new SoC support, so having the clk patch and the dts patch
come together in -next via a merge instead of basing the dts
patch on top of the clk patch would be how things are normally
done.

If we're really changing some dts to be backwards incompatible,
then I understand the bisect problem and you can have my ack.
