The patch looks good to me now,

Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Regarding the changelog, I notice you have a duplicate Signed-off-by
line, one of the two should be removed. Also, The "V2 update" portion
should be split into the part that you want in the changelog, without
the '-' bullet points (in this case, the explanation for monontonic
time), and the purely informational part that makes sense for the
review but not for the git history (what changes were done against
previous versions of the patch), which should go below the '---'
line under the Signed-off-by chain, so it gets removed when imported
to git.

If Felipe decides to do these changes himself when he applies the
patch, that's fine, otherwise please send the patch again as 'V3'
tomorrow.
