I mentioned to Stephen at the last LPC in Tokyo that I am interested
in becoming a clk co-maintainer. I've sent him some git pulls for some
of my work the last few development cycles, and he's pulled them. For
this development cycle, I collected up some patches from others that I
feel are ready, however I didn't hear back from Stephen yet:

He separately pulled some of that work via the posted patches into
clk-next this week. I don't know if there was something he didn't like
in my git pull.

To be honest, I initially helped with reviews trying to free up time
for him to give feedback about my work to address some long-standing
issues related to clk scaling that affect DRM and sound:

The kunit tests in patch 2 and 4 clearly show the issues. (I'm working
on some fixes to this series right now based on feedback from
Sashiko.)

I've become more interested in the clk subsystem as I learn more about
it. There are other improvements that I am willing to make to the clk
subsystem, however the current situation has been quite challenging to
be honest. I will help with the linux-clk subsystem for the long term
if there is the possibility of me eventually becoming a co-maintainer.
Stephen can have veto power over what goes in.
