No, it doesn't. after the NFC driver using the MMC sub clock framework 
was merged into the mainline of kernel, we didn't continue to submit the 
series of patches about MMC sub clock after v9. when i found that, we 
made a discussion to decide whether to recover the series of patches 
about MMC sub clock framework, finally, see the description from cover 
letter, we plan to abandon it and adopt the new clock scheme in this 
series of patches.

Thanks.
