Subject: [GIT pull] timer fixes for 4.2

Linus,

please pull the latest timers-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-for-linus

Two minimalistic fixes for 4.2 regressions:

 - Eric fixed a thinko in the timer_list base switching code caused by
   the overhaul of the timer wheel. It can cause a cpu to see the
   wrong base for a timer while we move the timer around.

 - Guenter fixed a regression for IMX if booted w/o device tree, where
   the timer interrupt is not initialized and therefor the machine
   fails to boot.

Thanks,

	tglx
