Hi Stephen,

I've only now bumped into the patchset (working the back log on linux-arm).
Sorry for late reply, but I guess you should have Cc'd the relevant
mailing lists with such changes.
Cc'd now.

Perhaps. There's a trade-off with spamming tens of subarch lists though,
and the OMAP maintainer and LAKML were CC'd.

Now that the only field in struct sys_timer is .init, delete the struct,
and replace the machine descriptor .timer field with the initialization
function itself.

This will enable moving timer drivers into drivers/clocksource without
having to place a public prototype of each struct sys_timer object into
include/linux; the intent is to create a single of_clocksource_init()
function that determines which timer driver to initialize by scanning
the device dtree, much like the proposed irqchip_init() at:

The patch is very large, so I've trimmed it for the mailing list, leaving
only the core ARM changes, changes outside arch/arm, and a single machine
example. The full series can be found at:

I've looked at the omap2+ changes and I think OMAP4 and 5 got messed up a bit...
the below (compile tested on omap2plus only) should be applied:

Thanks; your patch looks correct. I'll fold it into my series.
