 Time, timers and related driver updates:
 
  - Prevent unnecessary timer softirq invocations by extending the tracking
    of the next expiring timer in the timer wheel beyond the existing NOHZ
    functionality. The tracking overhead at enqueue time is within the
    noise, but on sensitive workloads the avoidance of the soft interrupt
    invocation is a measurable improvement.
 
  - The obligatory new clocksource driver for Ingenic X100 OST
 
  - The usual fixes, improvements, cleanups and extensions for newer chip
    variants all over the driver space.
