Hi James,

I'm performing some testing on this series now. If I don't spot any
regressions than I'll take it into clk-next. Thanks a lot for the rework
you've done.

I think that work on re-muxing is not yet complete. There are still
unresolved issues about picking "best parents", and likely some other
loose ends. We can fix those up later.

Regards,
Mike
