The clk framework and driver changes for 4.5 look pretty typical. The bulk of the changes are to clk controller drivers, though some improvements to the core and some re-usable blocks/templates also received some love. In this past cycle the clk maintainers developed a good workflow for handling the common case of patch submissions containing a new drivers, new shared Device Tree header and a new Device Tree binding description. This requires coordination with the Device Tree maintainers and with the architecture maintainers (typically the arm-soc tree in our case). This explains the increase in changes to include/dt-bindings/... and to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/... coming from the clk tree. The same commits can be expected to come through those trees on occasion, through the use of shared, immutable branches.
