After some discussion on the k1 thread
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZnEOU7D00J8Jzy-1@xhacker/, https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZnA6pZLkI2StP8Hh@xhacker/)
I am going to drop this series. It's not very useful in the current
state and there's not really been any interest from people in getting
the platform to a more complete state. Jisheng made some good points in
the k1 thread about the missing clock controller stuff, and I think I'm
going to make having basic things like clocks and where applicable
resets and pinctrl the minimum requirement for the platforms I'm looking
after.

I've thrown these patches into my tree:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/conor/linux.git/log/?h=k230-basic

I do have one of these boards, but I'm fairly limited at the moment between
the various linux-related and work demands on my time, so it's pretty
unlikely that I'll do anything with it myself.

Thanks,
Conor.
