Hm, I don't know how you prepared and sent your patch, but you shouldn't
have these fields in the body of your email. Please use git format-patch
to prepare the patch and then git send-email to send it.

Yep, probably by mistake. I started this rework long before it has been
submitted to the ML, so I probably messed something up when rebasing.

Also, prefer commit IDs to links to the ML archive. The above would
sentence would give:

"
As an alternative explanation, I noticed this was fixed in the past by
87e2ed338f1b ("clk: at91: fix recalc_rate implementation of PLL
driver") but the bug was later re-introduced by 1bdf02326b71 ("clk:
at91: make use of syscon/regmap internally").
"


The following comment and the changelog should be placed after the
'---' line, so that it's not part of the commit message.

You should add Fixes and Cc-stable tags so that the fix is backported
to stable branches:

The fix looks good. Let me know if you struggle with git
format-patch/send-email and I'll try to help you (or send the patch for
you if you don't care learning the process, but I think it's better if
you learn how to submit patches).

Thanks,

Boris
