Agreed, Thx.
I'll wait a few days to see if there are other comments before sending a 
v2. (especially if 4/4 is correct or not)
I'll also add "clk-cpu:" after "clk: mvebu:"

But here, I don't follow you.
What do you mean? Which other patch?

Do you mean that the commit message has to be updated accordingly?
(ie: s/clk_name/cpuclk[cpu].clk_name/ must be freed)
