clock-name or clock-names? I clearly see the clock-names used in DTS, so
your commit msg is not correct.

Please use subject prefixes matching the subsystem. You can get them for
example with 'git log --oneline -- DIRECTORY_OR_FILE' on the directory
your patch is touching. For bindings, the preferred subjects are
explained here:

You dropped this property. Every change done in the conversion needs to
be documented in the commit msg with explanation WHY.

Use proper GPIO defines for flags.
