Please pull omap dmtimer changes from:

git://github.com/tmlind/linux.git dmtimer

This series completes the system timer separation from the
driver like features. It also adds support for v2 ip that is
available for some timers starting with omap4.

After this series arch/arm/plat-omap/dmtimer.c could be
moved to live under drivers somewhere, but there is still
discussion going on which features should be supported in
a generic way.

This series depends on the cleanup you pulled earlier.
As this series adds some new features like runtime PM suppport,
I've kept it separate from cleanup.

Looks really nice. I've put it into another top-level branch
named next/dmtimer for now. I'm open for suggestions on whether
I should generally push branches like this separately Linuswards
or better aggregate multiple standalone features into a single
branch. 

How about a branch called driver?

There are still lots of pieces of code under arch/arm that should
be eventually moved to live under drivers. For example the mux
code and most of PM code can eventually be under drivers.

But before that can be done some preparation is often needed,
the actual move to live under drivers should be handled then
by the driver and subsystem maintainers.
