Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This release brings up a new platform based on the old ARM9 core: the
  Nuvoton NPCM is used as a baseboard management controller, competing
  with the better known ASpeed AST2xx series.

  Another important change is the addition of ARMv7-A based chips in
  mach-stm32. The older parts in this platform are ARMv7-M based
  microcontrollers, now they are expanding to general-purpose workloads.

  The other changes are the usual defconfig updates to enable additional
  drivers, lesser bugfixes. The largest updates as often are the ongoing
  OMAP cleanups, but we also have a number of changes for the older PXA
  and davinci platforms this time.

  For the Renesas shmobile/r-car platform, some new infrastructure is
  needed to make the watchdog work correctly.

  Supporting Multiprocessing on Allwinner A80 required a significant
  amount of new code, but is not doing anything unexpected"

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
  m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
  drivers.

  I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
  ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
  unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
  respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
  but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.

  In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
  different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
  charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
  ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
  CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
  seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
  used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
  contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
  maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.

  [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
    generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
    microarchitecture and a software ecosystem"   - Linus ]

  The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
  https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
  marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
  made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
  mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
  kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
  releases.

  After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
  gcc support:

   - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
     maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
     in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.

   - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
     their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
     place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
     degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
     Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
     will be similar

  [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
    since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum  - Linus ]"

This really says it all:

So that non-omap devices also could use this.

No Code changes done to the driver file only renamed to timer-ti-dm.c.
Also removed the config dependencies for OMAP_DM_TIMER.

For system timer it will set channel 1 32-bit timer0 as clock

The Spreadtrum SC9860 platform will use the architected timers as local
clock events, but we also need a broadcast timer device to wake up the
CPUs when the CPUs are in sleep mode.

The Spreadtrum timer can support 32-bit or 64-bit counters, as well as
supporting period mode or one-shot mode.

The Spreadtrum SC9860 platform will use the architected timers as local
clock events, but we also need a broadcast timer device to wake up the
CPUs when the CPUs are in sleep mode.

The Spreadtrum timer can support 32-bit or 64-bit counters, as well as
supporting period mode or one-shot mode.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

IMX Timer/PWM Module (TPM) supports both timer and pwm function while
this patch only adds the timer support. PWM would be added later.

The TPM counter, compare and capture registers are clocked by an
asynchronous clock that can remain enabled in low power modes.

NOTE: We observed in a very small probability, the bus fabric
contention between GPU and A7 may results a few cycles delay
of writing CNT registers which may cause the min_delta event got
missed, so we need add a ETIME check here in case it happened.
