0) Commit d3e6573c48f4 ("clk: hip04: add clock driver") was included in
v3.15. That clock driver is built only if CONFIG_ARCH_HIP04 is set.
And commit 5efaf09021a5 ("clk: hisi: add clk-hix5hd2.c") was included in
v3.16-rc1. And that driver is built only if CONFIG_ARCH_HIX5HD2 is set.
1) Neither the symbol ARCH_HIP04 nor the symbol ARCH_HIX5HD2 is part of
v3.16-rc1. These symbols are also not part of next-20140619. I assume
that both are pending somewhere. Is that correct?
2) It would probably be nice if these drivers got some (automatic) build
coverage until those symbols enter the tree. I don't know how that could
be achieved.

Because clock driver is the first component should be merged into
kernel tree. Otherwise, SoC couldn't be compiled at all since SoC &
clock are in two different git tree.
I also hope that SoC patches could be merged as soon as possible. But
we also need to follow up the comments on SoC patches from mailing
list. I can't not say when those SoC patches could be merged into
mainline since I'm not the gate keeper. I could only say that we're
making effort on this.
