Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The timer and timekeeping departement delivers:

  Core:

   - The consolidation of the VDSO code into a generic library including
     the conversion of x86 and ARM64. Conversion of ARM and MIPS are en
     route through the relevant maintainer trees and should end up in
     5.4.

     This gets rid of the unnecessary different copies of the same code
     and brings all architectures on the same level of VDSO
     functionality.

   - Make the NTP user space interface more robust by restricting the
     TAI offset to prevent undefined behaviour. Includes a selftest.

   - Validate user input in the compat settimeofday() syscall to catch
     invalid values which would be turned into valid values by a
     multiplication overflow

   - Consolidate the time accessors

   - Small fixes, improvements and cleanups all over the place

  Drivers:

   - Support for the NXP system counter, TI davinci timer

   - Move the Microsoft HyperV clocksource/events code into the
     drivers/clocksource directory so it can be shared between x86 and
     ARM64.

   - Overhaul of the Tegra driver

   - Delay timer support for IXP4xx

   - Small fixes, improvements and cleanups as usual"

+NXP System Counter Module(sys_ctr)
+
+The system counter(sys_ctr) is a programmable system counter which provides
+a shared time base to Cortex A15, A7, A53, A73, etc. it is intended for use in
+applications where the counter is always powered and support multiple,
+unrelated clocks. The compare frame inside can be used for timer purpose.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible :      should be "nxp,sysctr-timer"
+- reg :             Specifies the base physical address and size of the comapre
+                    frame and the counter control, read & compare.
+- interrupts :      should be the first compare frames' interrupt
+- clocks : 	    Specifies the counter clock.
+- clock-names: 	    Specifies the clock's name of this module
+
+Example:
+
+	system_counter: timer@306a0000 {
+		compatible = "nxp,sysctr-timer";
+		reg = <0x306a0000 0x20000>;/* system-counter-rd & compare */
+		clocks = <&clk_8m>;
+		clock-names = "per";
+		interrupts = <GIC_SPI 47 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+	};
