Thanks for the tip. I'll take the applicable parts from that series.

The trouble is that the sched_clock callback (digicolor_timer_sched_read) 
needs a static timer_base to find the timer counter. Do you think adding a 
structure is worth it only for ticks_per_jiffy?

Will do for the entire file.

Thanks. Will do.

Ack.

Thanks for reviewing. I'll post an updated series shortly.
