Ugh. If it comes from the code authored by somebody else, it'd be
better to note this (by using the From or Co-developed-by tags).
At the very least (if the author is unknown) you can mention the
origin of the patch (qsdk) in the commit message.

On msm8974 (and maybe others) the hfpll should be driven by the
separate hfpll driver.

I'd say, let's drop it for now unless Stephen or Bjorn tell us that
it's a valid check.
