[PATCH 0/9] Move ARC timer code into drivers/clocksource/

[Vineet Gupta]

Hi,

This series addresses the long pending move of ARC timer code into
drivers/clocksource/.

- patches [1-4]/9 are improvements to arc code, paving way for later code motion.
- patches [5-8]/9 refactor the arc headers to be shared between arc and drivers
- patch 9/9 moves out the driver code/build/Kconfig bits

As review progresses/concludes, I'd like to merge [1-8] for this merge window and
clocksource maintainers can pick up the actual switch for 4.10 or even 4.9 as they
prefer.

Thx,
-Vineet
