Linux kernel for uConsole

We regularly run into build errors when a clocksource driver selects CONFIG_TIMER_OF while CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS is disabled: In file included from drivers/clocksource/timer-of.c:25:0: drivers/clocksource/timer-of.h:35:28: error: field 'clkevt' has incomplete type At the moment, three drivers can show this behavior: ARMV7M_SYSTICK, CLKSRC_ST_LPC and CLKSRC_NPS. We could add further dependencies as we did many times, but I have looked a little bit more at what architectures are left that don't use GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, and this shows that there is a better solution. On arch/frv and arch/ia64, we never select CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and we also don't use ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET, which would block the clocksource Kconfig menu. On m68k, some platforms use CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, some use ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET, and some use neither of them. The good news is that there is no configuration that does not set CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS but that wants to enable any of the Kconfig symbols in the menu, so we can simply replace the dependency with the stricter one. While in theory one could have a clocksource driver without the clockevent infrastructure, this seems unlikely to be relevant in the future any more. We can probably drop some of the other dependencies as well now, e.g. there should generally be no reason to depend on CONFIG_ARM unless the driver uses architecture specific assembly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
