Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timer changes contain:
- posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases
- sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid
duplication by other architectures
- alarm timer updates
- clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities
- clocksource/events support for new hardware
- precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature)
- generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities
- the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place
The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
the relevant maintainers. Though this results in an handful of
trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
tree merge dependencies.
The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug
fixes plus the posix timer lot. The latter was in akpms queue and
next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic
collected them last minute."

This reverts commit 55a68c23e0.
In order to avoid a collision with dw_apb_timer changes in
the arm-soc tree, revert this change.
I'm leaving it to the arm-soc folks to sort out if they want
to keep the other side of the collision or if they're just going
to back it all out and try again during the next release cycle.

dw_apb_timer_init used to search the devicetree for matching timer
devices, making calls to it from board files necessary.
Change the dw_apb_timer_init to work with CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE.
With this change the function gets called once for each timer node
and tracks these number of calls to attach clockevent and clocksource
devices to the nodes.
Also remove the calls to dw_apb_timer_init from all previous users, as
clocksource_of_init is the default for init_time now.
Tested on the upcoming rk3066 code.

It seems we made a mistake when creating dw_apb_timer_of.c:
picoxcell sched_clock had parts that were not related to
dw_apb_timer, yet we moved them to dw_apb_timer_of, and tried to
use them on socfpga.
This results in system where user/system time is not measured
properly, as demonstrated by
time dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/zero bs=100000 count=100
So this patch switches sched_clock to hardware that exists on both
platforms, and adds missing of_node_put() in dw_apb_timer_init().

Now that the only field in struct sys_timer is .init, delete the struct,
and replace the machine descriptor .timer field with the initialization
function itself.
This will enable moving timer drivers into drivers/clocksource without
having to place a public prototype of each struct sys_timer object into
include/linux; the intent is to create a single of_clocksource_init()
function that determines which timer driver to initialize by scanning
the device dtree, much like the proposed irqchip_init() at:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg203686.html
Includes mach-omap2 fixes from Igor Grinberg.

The APB timers are an IP block from Synopsys (DesignWare APB timers)
and are also found in other systems including ARM SoC's. This patch
adds functions for creating clock_event_devices and clocksources from
APB timers but does not do the resource allocation. This is handled
in a higher layer to allow the timers to be created from multiple
methods such as platform_devices.
