<title>time/timecounter: Fix the lie that struct cyclecounter is const</title>

<content type='text'>
In both the read callback for struct cyclecounter, and in struct
timecounter, struct cyclecounter is declared as a const pointer.

Unfortunatly, a number of users of this pointer treat it as a non-const
pointer as it is burried in a larger structure that is heavily modified by
the callback function when accessed.  This lie had been hidden by the fact
that container_of() "casts away" a const attribute of a pointer without any
compiler warning happening at all.

Fix this all up by removing the const attribute in the needed places so
that everyone can see that the structure really isn't const, but can,
and is, modified by the users of it.

<title>pwm: Add support for Xilinx AXI Timer</title>

This adds PWM support for Xilinx LogiCORE IP AXI soft timers commonly
found on Xilinx FPGAs. At the moment clock control is very basic: we
just enable the clock during probe and pin the frequency. In the future,
someone could add support for disabling the clock when not in use.

Some common code has been specially demarcated. While currently only
used by the PWM driver, it is anticipated that it may be split off in
the future to be used by the timer driver as well.

This driver was written with reference to Xilinx DS764 for v1.03.a [1].

request_irq() is preferred over setup_irq(). Invocations of setup_irq()
occur after memory allocators are ready.

Per tglx[1], setup_irq() existed in olden days when allocators were not
ready by the time early interrupts were initialized.

Hence replace setup_irq() by request_irq().

<title>clocksource/drivers: Rename CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE to TIMER_OF_DECLARE</title>

<content type='text'>
The CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE macro is used widely for the timers to declare the
clocksource at early stage. However, this macro is also used to initialize
the clockevent if any, or the clockevent only.

It was originally suggested to declare another macro to initialize a
clockevent, so in order to separate the two entities even they belong to the
same IP. This was not accepted because of the impact on the DT where splitting
a clocksource/clockevent definition does not make sense as it is a Linux
concept not a hardware description.

On the other side, the clocksource has not interrupt declared while the
clockevent has, so it is easy from the driver to know if the description is
for a clockevent or a clocksource, IOW it could be implemented at the driver
level.

So instead of dealing with a named clocksource macro, let's use a more generic
one: TIMER_OF_DECLARE.

The patch has not functional changes.

In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware,
all clockevent device drivers must set -&gt;min_delta_ticks and
-&gt;max_delta_ticks rather than -&gt;min_delta_ns and -&gt;max_delta_ns: a
clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the
ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant.

Make the microblaze arch's clockevent driver initialize these fields
properly.

This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the
clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) -&gt;min_delta_ns
and -&gt;max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will
purge the initialization of -&gt;min_delta_ns and -&gt;max_delta_ns from this
driver.
