Subject: [GIT PULL 00/16] clocksource: arm_arch_timer: GTDT-based MMIO timer support

Hi Daniel,

The series enables support for the MMIO architected timers (useful for
system-level idle), which need to be probed via the GTDT when using ACPI. 

I realise this is a little late, but I would very much appreciate if you could
pull these arch timer GTDT patches for v4.12. The series has been largely fine
for a while now, and the major hold-ups were edge cases in error handling which
have now been addressed.

The bulk of the series is a refactoring to cleanly separate the core driver, DT
probe path, and ACPI probe path. The final patch of the series adds GTDT-based
probing of the SBSA watchdog, using the new GTDT probing infrastructure. I've
tested the patches on arm and arm64 platforms.

The ACPI parts have all been appropriately acked, and it's preferred that these
all go through the clocksource tree.

The series is based on Marc's arch-timer-errata tag, which is alread in
tip/timers/core.

Thanks,
Mark.
