[GIT PULL]clocksource: dw_apb_timer_of: Fix read_sched_clock

[dinguyen at altera.com]

From: Dinh Nguyen <dinguyen@altera.com>

Hi Thomas, John,

I am hoping you can pull in these 2 patches. These 2 patches have been floating
around for almost 2 months now. They are needed to get the Altera SOCFPGA
booting again because of a DTS binding change in 3.12.

The other change was correctly return the current clock counter.

The discussion thread can be found here:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-September/198818.html
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-September/198903.html

This patch does not attempt or change the behaviour of the ordering of how a
clocksource or clockevent is use. These 2 patches only enables a platform to boot.

Thanks,
Dinh

John,

I agree with Dinh, these patches fixes a boot issue on Altera SOCFPGA 
and should be merged.

Thanks

Hey Dinh,
    Thanks for persisting here! Sorry this has taken awhile. Just as an
FYI, Daniel is maintaining the drivers/clocksource dir these days.

So, I've not been following this closely, but if I recall we had a merge
conflict that we backed out, since it seemed that everyone involved in
this driver weren't working together. Then Thomas had some objections,
but it *looks* like that's been resolved. So I don't have any objections
at this point.

Daniel: if you want to pull these in to your tree, that's fine by me.

thanks
-john

Yeah, it happens the same to me :)

Ok, pulled to my tree.

I did not see these 2 patches in 3.13-rc1. Just wondering what happened
to them?
