I add my:

Acked-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@...el.com>

Now, tell me if we need to setup a git tree with this and make it handled by linux-next (we do not have for at91 yet)?
or Russell can take the series in a "devel" branch?

I have tested the series with the v2 patches. It is working good with some modification that were discussed (hclk, pclk clocks). I attach modifications I have made to make it work so that you have an idea of my testbed (not a patch as you should already have this and it is on a development platform):

+/* One additional fake clock for macb interfaces */
+static struct clk hclk = {
+       .name           = "hclk",
+       .pmc_mask       = 0,
+       .type           = CLK_TYPE_PERIPHERAL,
+};

        // irq0
        &ohci_clk,
        &tcb1_clk,
+       &hclk,
 };

[..]

                /* Clock */
-               at91_clock_associate("macb0_clk", &at91sam9x5_eth0_device.dev, "macb_clk");
+               at91_clock_associate("macb0_clk", &at91sam9x5_eth0_device.dev, "pclk");

                eth0_data = *data;
                platform_device_register(&at91sam9x5_eth0_device);

Thanks, best regards,
