__gic_clocksource_init() extracts the GIC_CONFIG_COUNTBITS field from
read_gic_config() by right shifting the register value. The shift count is
determined by the most significant bit (__fls) of the bitmask which is
wrong as it shifts out the complete bitfield.

Use the least significant bit (__ffs) instead to shift the bitfield down to
bit 0.

Always accessing the compare register via the CM redirect region is
(relatively) slow. If the timer being updated is the current CPUs
then this can be shortcutted by writing to the CM VP local region.

Switch from calling functions exported by the GIC interrupt controller
to using new accessors provided by asm/mips-gic.h. This will allow the
counter-handling functionality to be removed from the interrupt
controller driver, where it doesn't really belong, and also allow for
inlining of the accesses to the GIC.

'clk' is a valid pointer at this point. So calling PTR_ERR on it is
pointess.

Return the error code from 'clk_prepare_enable()' if it fails instead.

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

<id>1727339590fdb5a1ded881b540cd32121278d414</id>
<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.

 "This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
  timers/timekeeping.

   - Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
     helpful and caused more confusion than clarity

   - Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
     the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
     timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
     some time ago.

     That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.

  Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
  manual mopping up"
