RFC PATCH 1/1 clocksource: exynos_mct: remove unneeded container_of()

Hi Stephen and all,

i'm lazy-looking on commit ee98d27df6827b5ba4bd99cb7d5cb1239b6a1a31 "ARM: EXYNOS4: Divorce mct from local timer API".

I think i miss some point of local timers APIs and other things but why we are going to get evt pointer from mevt structure in exynos4_mct_cpu_notify(), pass it to setup function and there we calculate mevt pointer again from evt by using container_of() macro?

To be simple, does patch below makes any sense or am I wrong somewhere? Just want to optimize setup function a little. Looks like code performs useless work.

Tested on odroid-xu3 with PMU spare2 register fix.

Best regards,
Alexey Klimov.

It was done this way to minimize the diff. I don't see any problem changing it as you propose.

Looks good, the internal interface now seems more consistent.

However you forgot to mail this to maintainers of clocksource subsystem (Cc'ed: Daniel, Thomas, LKML).

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Applied to my tree for 4.3.
