From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patchset:
     (1)Move some enums and marcos to header file for arm_arch_timer,
     improve the pr_* code by defining "pr_fmt(fmt)" in arm_arch_timer.c

     (2)Introduce ACPI GTDT parser: drivers/acpi/gtdt.c
     Parse all kinds of timer in GTDT table of ACPI:arch timer,
     memory-mapped timer and SBSA Generic Watchdog timer.
     This driver can help to simplify all the relevant timer drivers,
     and separate all the ACPI GTDT knowledge from them.

     (3)Simplify ACPI code for arch timer in arm_arch_timer.c

     (4)Add memory-mapped timer support in arm_arch_timer.c

RESEND:
    -- Corrected Cc list: added missing mailing lists

Hi Fu Wei,

the whole series is lacking to encapsulate the ACPI code.

I believe Marc Zyngier did a first effort to make the ACPI self contained and this series ignore that.

Please rework the series in the direction no acpi gtdt structure appears in the driver.

Thanks
