[PATCH v2 0/4] clocksource: Add standalone MMIO ARM arch timer driver

[Marc Zyngier]

For the past 10 years, both Mark and I have been lamenting about the
sorry state of the badly named "arch_timer" driver, and about the way
the MMIO part is intricately weaved into the system-register part.

The time has finally come to take a stab at it.

This small series simply creates a new timer driver for the MMIO arch
timer, and only that. It is an actual driver, and not some kludge that
has to run super early (that's what the per-CPU timers are for). This
allows, in turn, a pretty large cleanup of the per-CPU driver, though
there is more to come -- one thing at a time.

As an added bonus, we get a clocksource, which the original code
didn't provide. Just in case it might be useful. The end-result is far
more readable, and about 100 lines smaller.

Patches on top of 6.17-rc1.

* From v1 [1]:

  - Narrow the max delta to something that fits an unsigned long, as
    the core code doesn't deal with 64bit quantities on 32bit CPUs.

  - Collected RBs and TBs from Sudeep, with thanks.
