It's a little bit more involved than that: 

- Patch 7 (misc driver) depends on 6 (RP1 common dts) which in turn
  depends on 1 (clock binding header). Should be taken by Greg.

- Patch 9 and 10 (board dts) depends on 6 (RP1 common dts) which again
  depends on 1 (clock binding header). Should be taken by Florian.

- Patch 4 (clock driver) depends on 1 (clock binding header) and
  should be taken by Stephen.

So patches 6 and 1 are in common between Florian and Greg, while patch 1
is in common between everyone in the pool.

If I uniquely assign the patches in common to one of you, the others
won't be able to compile their own branch because they will be missing
the dependent patch.

If, on the other hand, I duplicate common patches to each of you to
make the kernel compile for veryone, you should remember that there
will be conflicts due to duplicated patches among different trees
down the merge path.

Any advice about how to proceed is appreciated.

Many thanks,
Andrea
