Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "A large number of cleanups, all over the platforms.  This is dominated
  largely by the Samsung platforms (s3c, s5p, exynos) and a few of the
  others moving code out of arch/arm into more appropriate subsystems.

  The clocksource and irqchip drivers are now abstracted to the point
  where platforms that are already cleaned up do not need to even
  specify the driver they use, it can all get configured from the device
  tree as we do for normal device drivers.  The clocksource changes
  basically touch every single platform in the process.

  We further clean up the use of platform specific header files here,
  with the goal of turning more of the platforms over to being
  "multiplatform" enabled, which implies that they cannot expose their
  headers to architecture independent code any more.

  It is expected that no functional changes are part of the cleanup.
  The overall reduction in total code lines is mostly the result of
  removing broken and obsolete code."

All paths on m32r lead to cpu_relax().
So delete the dead code and simply call cpu_relax() directly.

cleanup.

<title>ARCH: drivers remove __dev* attributes.</title>

This fixes up all of the smaller arches that had __dev* markings for
their platform-specific drivers.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

<title>time: convert arch_gettimeoffset to a pointer</title>

<id>7b1f62076bba10786d2118006ae68ac120cd6c56</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, whenever CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET is enabled, each
arch core provides a single implementation of arch_gettimeoffset(). In
many cases, different sub-architectures, different machines, or
different timer providers exist, and so the arch ends up implementing
arch_gettimeoffset() as a call-through-pointer anyway. Examples are
ARM, Cris, M68K, and it's arguable that the remaining architectures,
M32R and Blackfin, should be doing this anyway.

Modify arch_gettimeoffset so that it itself is a function pointer, which
the arch initializes. This will allow later changes to move the
initialization of this function into individual machine support or timer
drivers. This is particularly useful for code in drivers/clocksource
which should rely on an arch-independant mechanism to register their
implementation of arch_gettimeoffset().

This patch also converts the Cris architecture to set arch_gettimeoffset
directly to the final implementation in time_init(), because Cris already
had separate time_init() functions per sub-architecture. M68K and ARM
are converted to set arch_gettimeoffset to the final implementation in
later patches, because they already have function pointers in place for
this purpose.

Currently, whenever CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET is enabled, each
arch core provides a single implementation of arch_gettimeoffset(). In
many cases, different sub-architectures, different machines, or
different timer providers exist, and so the arch ends up implementing
arch_gettimeoffset() as a call-through-pointer anyway. Examples are
ARM, Cris, M68K, and it's arguable that the remaining architectures,
M32R and Blackfin, should be doing this anyway.

Modify arch_gettimeoffset so that it itself is a function pointer, which
the arch initializes. This will allow later changes to move the
initialization of this function into individual machine support or timer
drivers. This is particularly useful for code in drivers/clocksource
which should rely on an arch-independant mechanism to register their
implementation of arch_gettimeoffset().

This patch also converts the Cris architecture to set arch_gettimeoffset
directly to the final implementation in time_init(), because Cris already
had separate time_init() functions per sub-architecture. M68K and ARM
are converted to set arch_gettimeoffset to the final implementation in
later patches, because they already have function pointers in place for
this purpose.
