[RFC PATCH 11/11] ARM: delete struct sys_timer

From: Stephen Warren
Date: Thu Nov 08 2012 - 16:02:24 EST


From: Stephen Warren <swarren@xxxxxxxxxx>

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:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg203686.html

RFC: This will be quite a large patch since it'll end up touching tens
or hundreds of ARM board files, timer drivers, etc. Perhaps it'd be
better to create patches that:

1) Add .init_time field to machine descriptor, update ARM's time_init to
use that if present, else fall back to .timer.init.
2) 1 patch per ARM sub-architecture to convert to from .timer to
.init_time.
3) Remove sys_timer and machine descriptor .timer field.

For now, this patch only converts Tegra as an example of my intent.
