The clock patch is as below in Linux-next tree, while I did NOT see it in v5.3-rc6,
so it should be queued for 5.4-rc1, right?
Thanks for taking the patch series!


commit 951c1aef9691491ddf4dd5aab76f2665d56bd5d3

    clk: imx8mq: Remove CLK_IS_CRITICAL flag for IMX8MQ_CLK_TMU_ROOT

    IMX8MQ_CLK_TMU_ROOT is ONLY used for thermal module, the driver
    should manage this clock, so no need to have CLK_IS_CRITICAL flag
    set.
