[PATCH 00/48] ARM: at91: rework Atmel TCB drivers

Hi,

This series reworks the Atmel Timer counter Block drivers. Those blocks
each have 3 counters with 2 channels each and can be used for
multiple functions:
 - timers
 - PWMs
 - Quadrature decoders
 - Stepper motor counters

Up until now, each TCB was fully used by each driver, possibly wasting
counters/channels.

There is a second issue motivating that rework. Until now, the PIT is
still used to boot then later in the boot sequence, the clocksource is
switched to the TCB. This ends up not working well with preempt-rt
because on some SoCs, the PIT interrupt is shared with the DBGU uart.
When using preempt-rt the interrupt flags for the PIT and the DBGU end
up being incompatible.

The whole rework doesn't break the DT ABI for the clocksource as the old
driver is kept anyway for AVR32. However, I still took the time to
switch all the upstreamed board dts to the new bindings.
However, there is no other choice than breaking the mainly unused
pwm-atmel-tcb binding. Only the kizbox is actually using it.

I hope we could quickly come to an agreement on the new DT bindings and
include those changes in 4.8.

Regarding the tcbclksrc driver, I'm not completely happy with the
request_irq/free_irq thing but there is not much choice unless we want
to pass in the clksrc handler even when using the clkevt driver as they
may share the same interrupt.
