<title>clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Make timer selectable for ARCH_K3</title>

<content type='text'>
Let's make timer-ti-dm selectable for ARCH_K3, and add a separate option
for OMAP_DM_SYSTIMER as there should be no need for it on ARCH_K3.

For older TI SoCs, we are already selecting OMAP_DM_TIMER in
arch/arm/mach-omap*/Kconfig. For mach-omap2, we need to now also select
OMAP_DM_SYSTIMER.

Currently this only supports a single watchdog, which uses a timer in
the background for countdown. Eventually the timers could be used for
various time-keeping tasks, but by default the architected timer will
already provide that functionality.

Patch series from Nick Hawkins:

"The GXP is the HPE BMC SoC that is used in the majority of HPE current
 generation servers. Traditionally the asic will last multiple
 generations of server before being replaced.

 Info about SoC:

  HPE GXP is the name of the HPE Soc. This SoC is used to implement many
  BMC features at HPE. It supports ARMv7 architecture based on the Cortex
  A9 core. It is capable of using an AXI bus to which a memory controller
  is attached. It has multiple SPI interfaces to connect boot flash and
  BIOS flash. It uses a 10/100/1000 MAC for network connectivity. It has
  multiple i2c engines to drive connectivity with a host infrastructure.
  The initial patches enable the watchdog and timer enabling the host to
  be able to boot."

  MAINTAINERS: Introduce HPE GXP Architecture
  ARM: dts: Introduce HPE GXP Device tree
  dt-bindings: arm: hpe: add GXP Support

     including the conversion of riscv, csky and openrisc. This series
     is also a prerequisite for the loongarch64 architecture port that

Add support for the HPE GXP SOC timer. The GXP supports several different
kinds of timers but for the purpose of this driver there is only support
for the General Timer. The timer has a 1us resolution and is 32 bits. The
timer also creates a child watchdog device as the register region is the
same.

* 'remove-h8300' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc:
  remove the h8300 architecture

This is clearly the least actively maintained architecture we have at
the moment, and probably the least useful. It is now the only one that
does not support MMUs at all, and most of the boards only support 4MB
of RAM, out of which the defconfig kernel needs more than half just
for .text/.data.

Guenter Roeck did the original patch to remove the architecture in 2013
after it had already been obsolete for a while, and Yoshinori Sato brought
it back in a much more modern form in 2015. Looking at the git history
since the reinstantiation, it's clear that almost all commits in the tree
are build fixes or cross-architecture cleanups:

The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit
RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the
kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were
already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes
employees.

As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V,
and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels
provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline
support any more.

While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets
worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best
to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns
out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer
to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.
