And given Ingo sent the timer pull in September 3rd, it seems none of that
clocksource stuff will make it for v3.12.

Jason: If that's the case, then we'll have to ask Olof to revert any patches
that were included in this two patchsets, and that have been taken by you
and pulled in arm-soc.

In other words, this one:

commit 5d3b883071763e6448386b875f04fcb201b6e12d

    ARM: mvebu: Fix the Armada 370/XP timer compatible strings
---

Right now, Armada 370/XP boards won't boot using Linus' master,
because of the above patch.

That said, discussing this with Olof he pointed out it was a very bad
decision to change the compatible while not retaining the old one,
since we created precisely this kind of break risk! My bad.
