    This series is prematured as today STiH415/416 is not broken by any commit.

    This series is depending on the merge of a ST's clock series not yet upstreamed.
    (see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9157571/)

    STMicroelectronics expect to remove STiH415/416 in a near future from upstream kernel.
