Sure. What I meant is that I'd prefer to fix any such conflict myself
(i.e. by basing the GTDT patches atop of this), before passing this
upwards.

In either case I believe we should be able to handle the conflict. Going
through one tree (i.e. arm64) would simplify things substantially,
though.

This really comes down to what the clocksource maintainers prefer.
