This one has (I think) ended up in the patch system last week, but it's
not clkdev, it's only related. I'm also not Cc'd on its posting, and
it's not posted to any mailing list that I'm a part of. So I've not
been following any discussion on it.

Digging in to the discussion, I see various attributations, and a final
message reporting an unused variable, and a promise to send v2. So,
I'm guessing that
http://www.home.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=9397/1
is now superseded in some way... I wouldn't have known without locating
this email and checking the links.
