    Merge tag 'asm-generic-timers-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic
    
    Pull asm-generic cross-architecture timer cleanup from Arnd Bergmann:
     "This cleans up two ancient timer features that were never completed in
      the past, CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET.
    
      There was only one user left for the ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET variant
      of clocksource implementations, the ARM EBSA110 platform. Rather than
      changing to use modern timekeeping, we remove the platform entirely as
      Russell no longer uses his machine and nobody else seems to have one
      any more.
    
      The conditional code for using arch_gettimeoffset() is removed as a
      result.
    
      For CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, there are still a couple of platforms
      not using clockevent drivers: parisc, ia64, most of m68k, and one Arm
      platform. These all do timer ticks slighly differently, and this gets
      cleaned up to the point they at least all call the same helper
      function.
    
      Instead of most platfo...
