As usual they are just keeping it out of mainline, and this
is adding sched_clock() and other goodies so should
probably be upstreamed ASAP.

This is what I initially submitted here.
Ah. I missed part of the start of the discussion it seems.

But Arnd wanted to see a smaller patch which only fixes gemini timer issue
(t.i. shed clock being 100Hz instead of 25MHz).
Also I've submitted 4.1 support yesterday, but patches didn't change much
comparing to 3.18
On the other hand I think the bigger patch is OK actually.

I rewrote the timer support some time back and did not get
anyone to test it properly at the time, so the patch went in
untested. So this is a fix.
The bigger patch seemed a little too verbose to have it backported
to stable kernels, so I asked for a minimal fix that could be marked
as stable, with the other changes applied on top for the current
arm-soc tree.

I'm still on parental leave and not dealing with patches directly,
so whichever patch we want should get routed through Ulli to arm@kernel.org
