Obviously they are patches for Samsung clock drivers. ;)

The issue here is that there is a number of patches already merged in
Samsung tree on which the patches discussed here depend.

As long as there are no dependencies on arch code and series being
applied do not touch arch code, this is perfectly fine. Unfortunately
this is rarely the case, at least for Samsung platforms and at least for
now. After we finish with arch clean-up and move all code to appropriate
subsystems, it should become easier, though.
