[RFC 0/5] Clocksource driver for OMAP SoCs

[Joel Fernandes]

Here's an RFC series for clocksource migration of OMAP timers.
This attempt is going to step-by-step attempt to migrate platforms
such that everything is kept working smoothly during migration. Currently
the series introduces a clocksource driver and migrates AM335x platform
to discuss the general idea.

The plan is to move dmtimer to clocksource (infact make a copy for now
so that platforms not migrated still work). Then we add a per-SoC clocksource
registration and select a timer as each of them are initialized by clocksource
(suggested in [1]).

We also add support for a generic timer init function which is called for
every SoC for which support in clocksource driver is available. And, we
call a generic OMAP power up function which is introduced in the mach-omap
layer in this series.

Lastly, we add clock nodes for the system timers, and setup a default-parent
so that the parent clocks are setup correctly. Due to this, the series depends
on Tero's series [2].

Please note- this effort is for system timer support. This is the first basic
step. Converting dmtimer to use any other generic framework is a completely
different topic and should not be discussed in this thread. It is something
that can be done only _after_ the work done in this series is completed, thanks.
