Subject: [PATCH net 2/4] net:phy:smsc: expand documentation of clocks property

Thank you very much.
I'm guessing perhaps I should re-send this as a single patch since there 
are issues with the patch series?
I realize now that I should have splitted things differently.

There are several things with your patch series that make it very hard
to be followed or to even know what is the latest version of your patch
series. If you can resubmit everything targeting the 'net' tree along
with a cover letter explaining the differences between v1 and v2 that
would help. Please make sure that all of your patches reference the
cover letter's Message-Id which is the default if you use git
format-patch --cover-letter .

Thanks
