I'm not complaining about the goal of this patchset, I'm just arguing
about the price. And I do think we managed to come to an agreement

55 currently, and there are still a few clocks that haven't been wired
up yet. So shaving off a few bytes can make a big difference, and other
platforms have even more clocks.
