cover ARM: OMAP: Add clocksource and clockevent driver for OMAP
Hi,
the following patches add clocksource and clockevent driver for ARM based TI OMAP devices.
They are against linux-2.6.19 + patch-2.6.20-rc1 + patch-2.6.20-rc1-rt0. The clocksource patch went through several review cycles on OMAP list.

Hi Dirk,
As a suggestion, could you consider sending patches to
[email protected]? One of the reasons why we (in consultation with folks like Ingo and tglx) deliberatly didn't create a RT development list was that in order to promote getting -rt related patches into mainline as soon as possible, we wanted to keep patch and development discussion on LKML. For example, it's not clear that the ARM maintainer subscribes to linux-rt-users; furthermore the more patch discussion happens on LKML, it helps promote willingness of other kernel developers that CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT isn't going to go away, and will probably (hopefully!) be merged into mainline someday soon.
Regards,

Many thanks for this clarification! Yes, I will see to find some time to send the patches to LKML.
I will check as well if parts of your quite good explanation above will fit into rt wiki.
Cheers
