Of course I did.
Works with gpio driver and provides up to 10usec precision on
armada-xp board.
This is 1000 times better than without my patch - the precision
was 10ms (jiffy).

OK, I can remove the nsec resolution.
I added it for the future, it doesn't work for me either, but
hrtimer has an API for it, so I thought it may work on another hw.
I don't see why it can't stay, but if it bothers you that much,
I'll remove it.

This is a counter-productive conclusion.
My patch does 1000 times precision improvement with gpio driver.
If you only want nsec to be removed as it doesn't work - that's
fine with me.
