Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The clocksource driver is pure hardware enablement and the skew option is default off, well tested and non dangerous." * 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: tick: Move skew_tick option into the HIGH_RES_TIMER section clocksource: em_sti: Add DT support clocksource: em_sti: Emma Mobile STI driver clockevents: Make clockevents_config() a global symbol tick: Add tick skew boot option
