This patchset:
    (1)Preparation for adding GTDT support in arm_arch_timer
        1. Move some enums and marcos to header file
        2. Add a new enum for spi type.
        3. Improve printk relevant code

    (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 arm_arch_timer

    (4)Add GTDT support for ARM memory-mapped timer

GTDT is ARM-specific AFAICS.

If so, why do we need that code to reside in drivers/acpi/ ?

Thanks,
Rafael
