Hi, This series addresses the long pending move of ARC timer code into drivers/clocksource/. Thx, -Vineet v2 -> v3 - Fixed a bunch of typos in changelogs [Daniel] - aux.h: stubs for {read,write}_aux_reg() inline functions(vs. macros) to cleanly avoid warnings in !ARC builds [Daniel] - Remove __maybe_used in driver given above [Daniel] - Ran checkpatch and fixed some space/tab issues v1 -> v2 - Now 10 patches instead of 9 to handle BIG ENDIAN in arch agnostic way - Moved fix for RTC (v1 2/9) ahead of queue (v2 1/10) to allow for easier stable backport - Folded the Kconfig items for RTC and GFRC into single ARC_TIMERS_64BIT So no special casing for UP/SMP in Kconfig. Driver already handles the UP vs. SMP at runtime as needed - convert WARN() to pr_warn() [Daniel] - Use of _BITUL() vs. constant 0x8000_0000 [Daniel] - changelog spellos: [Daniel] s/depedency/dependency/ s/seperate/separate/ v2: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-snps-arc/2016-November/001724.html v1: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-snps-arc/2016-October/001676.html Vineet Gupta (10): ARC: timer: rtc: implement read loop in "C" vs. inline asm ARC: timer: gfrc, rtc: deuglify big endian code ARC: timer: gfrc, rtc: Read BCR to detect whether hardware exists ...
