apb timer. That rings a bell. Does that have anything to do with

arch/x86/kernel/apb_timer.c ? That's from one of the intel mobile
chips and might be the very same IP block.

As far as I can tell, drivers/clocksource/dw_apb_timer.c is already
used on Intel MID platform... What I'm moving is device tree glue,
that is unsuitable for x86 plaforms with classical BIOS. (And AFAICT,
intel MID also uses something different).

Ah, ok. Did not look at the details. Just the "abp" popped up in my
mind :)

Urgh! Why can't we just compile it from drivers/clocksource/Makefile
?

It will cost me a new config option, but I can do that, yes.

Please.

Thanks,
