Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for timers, timekeeping and drivers:

  Core:

   - The timer_shutdown[_sync]() infrastructure:

     Tearing down timers can be tedious when there are circular
     dependencies to other things which need to be torn down. A prime
     example is timer and workqueue where the timer schedules work and
     the work arms the timer.

     What needs to prevented is that pending work which is drained via
     destroy_workqueue() does not rearm the previously shutdown timer.
     Nothing in that shutdown sequence relies on the timer being
     functional.

     The conclusion was that the semantics of timer_shutdown_sync()
     should be:
	- timer is not enqueued
    	- timer callback is not running
    	- timer cannot be rearmed

     Preventing the rearming of shutdown timers is done by discarding
     rearm attempts silently.

     A warning for the case that a rearm attempt of a shutdown timer is
     detected would not be really helpful because it's entirely unclear
     how it should be acted upon. The only way to address such a case is
     to add 'if (in_shutdown)' conditionals all over the place. This is
     error prone and in most cases of teardown not required all.

   - The real fix for the bluetooth HCI teardown based on
     timer_shutdown_sync().

     A larger scale conversion to timer_shutdown_sync() is work in
     progress.

   - Consolidation of VDSO time namespace helper functions

   - Small fixes for timer and timerqueue

  Drivers:

   - Prevent integer overflow on the XGene-1 TVAL register which causes
     an never ending interrupt storm.

   - The usual set of new device tree bindings

   - Small fixes and improvements all over the place"
