  • The CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE macro is used widely for the timers to declare the
    clocksource at early stage. However, this macro is also used to initialize
    the clockevent if any, or the clockevent only.

    It was originally suggested to declare another macro to initialize a
    clockevent, so in order to separate the two entities even they belong to the
    same IP. This was not accepted because of the impact on the DT where splitting
    a clocksource/clockevent definition does not make sense as it is a Linux
    concept not a hardware description.

    On the other side, the clocksource has not interrupt declared while the
    clockevent has, so it is easy from the driver to know if the description is
    for a clockevent or a clocksource, IOW it could be implemented at the driver
    level.

    So instead of dealing with a named clocksource macro, let's use a more generic
    one: TIMER_OF_DECLARE.

    The patch has not functional changes.

  • With the upcoming NTP correction related rate adjustments to be implemented
    in the clockevents core, the latter needs to get informed about every rate
    change of a clockevent device made after its registration.

    Currently, h8300_timer8 violates this requirement in that it registers its
    clockevent device with the correct rate, but resets its ->mult and ->rate
    values in timer8_clock_event_start(), called from its ->set_state_oneshot()
    function.

    It seems like
    commit 4633f4cac85a ("clocksource/drivers/h8300: Cleanup startup and
    remove module code."),
    which introduced the rate initialization at registration, missed to remove
    the manual setting of ->mult and ->shift from timer8_clock_event_start().

    Purge the setting of ->mult, ->shift, ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns
    from timer8_clock_event_start().

  • All the clocksource drivers's init function are now converted to return
    an error code. CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE is no longer used as well as the
    clksrc-of table.

    Let's convert back the names:
    - CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE_RET => CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE
    - clksrc-of-ret => clksrc-of

  • The init functions do not return any error. They behave as the following:

    - panic, thus leading to a kernel crash while another timer may work and
    make the system boot up correctly

    or

    - print an error and let the caller unaware if the state of the system

    Change that by converting the init functions to return an error conforming
    to the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_RET prototype.

    Proper error handling (rollback, errno value) will be changed later case
    by case, thus this change just return back an error or success in the init
    function.
