Well, Lee has picked up 1-3 of this series, so I think it is a good idea
if you take it. I do not think it will make things any easier if it goes
through Tony's tree because part 5 is a bit tricky.
If picked up independently (of the whole set and not only part 4), there
will be a range of commits were WLAN will not work at all instead of
basically working randomly by the clock is enabled for some reason (can
happen if warm-booted from the vendor kernel).

So IMHO for part 5 we have to decide wether to decide if above is
considered to break bisectability and take the patch for 6.8 or
ignore that and take it for 6.7.

But no matter how we decide, that should not affect the route for this
part 4. So it is a good idea to have it through the clk tree.
