Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"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"
* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
ktime: Get rid of ktime_equal()
ktime: Cleanup ktime_set() usage
ktime: Get rid of the union
clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is
unambiguous.
Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script:
@rem@
@@
-typedef u64 cycle_t;
@fix@
typedef cycle_t;
@@
-cycle_t
+u64

When the state names got added a script was used to add the extra argument
to the calls. The script basically converted the state constant to a
string, but the cleanup to convert these strings into meaningful ones did
not happen.
Replace all the useless strings with 'subsys/xxx/yyy:state' strings which
are used in all the other places already.

At the hardware level, the J-Core PIT is integrated with the interrupt
controller, but it is represented as its own device and has an
independent programming interface. It provides a 12-bit countdown
timer, which is not presently used, and a periodic timer. The interval
length for the latter is programmable via a 32-bit throttle register
whose units are determined by a bus-period register. The periodic
timer is used to implement both periodic and oneshot clock event
modes; in oneshot mode the interrupt handler simply disables the timer
as soon as it fires.
Despite its device tree node representing an interrupt for the PIT,
the actual irq generated is programmable, not hard-wired. The driver
is responsible for programming the PIT to generate the hardware irq
number that the DT assigns to it.
On SMP configurations, J-Core provides cpu-local instances of the PIT;
no broadcast timer is needed. This driver supports the creation of the
necessary per-cpu clock_event_device instances.
A nanosecond-resolution clocksource is provided using the J-Core "RTC"
registers, which give a 64-bit seconds count and 32-bit nanoseconds
that wrap every second. The driver converts these to a full-range
32-bit nanoseconds count.
