Agreed.

No need to speculate when you can look it up easily (it wasn't us):

    Merge tag 'for-4.2' of git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/uclinux-h8/linux
    
    Pull Renesas H8/300 architecture re-introduction from Yoshinori Sato.
    
    We dropped arch/h8300 two years ago as stale and old, this is a new and
    more modern rewritten arch support for the same architecture.


I reviewed the series before it was merged, but failed to notice that you
were not on Cc, and I did not look at the clocksource drivers in much
detail (if at all).

I found that Yoshinori Sato has always addressed all review comments very
quickly by rewriting the code in a proper manner when mistakes were
pointed out in the other drivers. Maybe you can describe now what the
problems are with the three drivers to give him a chance to fix them?
