Hey Dinh,
    Thanks for persisting here! Sorry this has taken awhile. Just as an
FYI, Daniel is maintaining the drivers/clocksource dir these days.

So, I've not been following this closely, but if I recall we had a merge
conflict that we backed out, since it seemed that everyone involved in
this driver weren't working together. Then Thomas had some objections,
but it *looks* like that's been resolved. So I don't have any objections
at this point.

Daniel: if you want to pull these in to your tree, that's fine by me.

thanks
