    clocksource: add samsung pwm timer driver · f1189989

    This adds a new clocksource driver for the PWM timer that is
    present in most Samsung SoCs, based on the existing driver in
    arch/arm/plat-samsung/samsung-time.c and many changes implemented by
    Tomasz Figa.
    
    Originally, the conversion of all Samsung machines to the new driver was
    planned for 3.10, but that work ended up being too late and too invasive
    just before the merge window.
    
    Unfortunately, other changes in the Exynos platform resulted in some
    Exynos4 setups, particularly the Universal C210 board to be broken. In
    order to fix that with minimum risk, so we now leave the existing pwm
    clocksource driver in place for all older platforms and use the new
    driver only for device tree enabled boards. This way, we can get the
    broken machines running again using DT descriptions.
    
    All clocksource changes were implemented by Tomasz, while the DT
    registration was rewritten by Arnd.
