Could you please clarify, i should send whole patch series and include devicetree maintainers
for whole patch series or i should send devicetree patches separately?

Here devicetree patch for this:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg152247.html

And Iâll going to resend new patch series with discussed modifications.
It will contain only rk_timer and dts modifications.
I have to do more tests.

Alexander.
