Subject: [PATCH 0/3] clocksource: sun5i: clean up and convert to platform driver

The first two of these patches remove a bunch of duplicated code/data in
the sun5i hstimer driver.  To keep the diff clearer, the first patch
introduces an otherwise pointless struct which is then removed in the
second.

The third patch converts the driver to a platform_device driver.  This
is to make it work again on A20 and A31 (I think) where it broke when
the ccu driver was changed to a platform driver.

I have only tested this on an A20 where the hstimer is registered as
expected and can be selected through sysfs.  I hope it doesn't break
something else.

Some additional discussion here:
