I'm not familiar enough with the common clock framework to do a proper review
of this patch-set, but I've tested both on an Exynos5800 Peach Pi Chromebook
and an Exynos5422 Odroid XU4 board and I didn't find any clock regressions.

Also, I confirmed that the possible deadlock in the Odroid XU4 that was fixed
by reverted commit 10ff4c5239a1 doesn't happen anymore with your patches.
