I'm not complaining about the goal of this patchset, I'm just arguing about the price. And I do think we managed to come to an agreement later in the thread (which is actually cheaper than what I currently have!)

55 currently, and there are still a few clocks that haven't been wired up yet. So shaving off a few bytes can make a big difference, and other platforms have even more clocks.
