Hi Thomas, Ingo,

- Will Deacon and Sudeep KarkadaNagesha implemented the event stream for architected timer. The event streams can be used to impose a timeout on a wfe, to safeguard against any programming error in case an expected event is not generated or even to implement wfe-based timeouts for userspace locking implementations. Some files fall under the arm maintainers' umbrella but those changes have been reviewed and acked by the relevant people (Catalin Marinas and Olof Johansson).

- Boris Brezillon improved the tcb_clksrc driver by removing a deprecated flag, checking return code values and using functions from the common clock framework.

Thanks !
