Subject: [PATCH v2 clocksource 0/5] TSC and clocksource-watchdog updates for
 v6.12

Hello!

This series contains TSC and clocksource-watchdog updates:

1.	 clocksource: Improve comments for watchdog skew bounds, courtesy
	 of Borislav Petkov.

2.	 clocksource: Fix brown-bag boolean thinko in cs_watchdog_read().

3.	 clocksource: Fix comments on WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD &
	 WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW.

4.	 clocksource: Set cs_watchdog_read() checks based on
	 .uncertainty_margin.

5.	Check for sockets instead of CPUs to make code match comment.

						Thanx, Paul

Changes since v1:

o	Remember to CC LKML.  :-/
