Add a system timer driver for Realtek SoCs.
This driver registers the 1 MHz global hardware counter on Realtek
platforms as a clock event device. Since this hardware counter starts
counting automatically after SoC power-on, no clock initialization is
required. Because the counter does not stop or get affected by CPU power
down, and it supports oneshot mode, it is typically used as a tick
broadcast timer.

Introduce a clocksource driver for the so-called high-precision timer (HPT)
in the EcoNet EN751221 and EN751627 MIPS SoCs.
It's a 32 bit upward-counting one-shot timer which relies on the crystal so it
is unaffected by CPU power mode. On MIPS 34K devices (single core) there is
one timer, and on 1004K devices (dual core) there are two.
Each timer has two sets of count/compare registers so that there is one for
each of the VPEs on the core. Because each core has 2 VPEs, register selection
takes the CPU number / 2 for the timer corrisponding to the core, then CPU
number % 2 for the register corrisponding to the VPE.
These timers use a percpu-devid IRQ to route interrupts to the VPE which set
the event.

STM supports commonly required system and application software timing
functions. STM includes a 32-bit count-up timer and four 32-bit
compare channels with a separate interrupt source for each
channel. The timer is driven by the STM module clock divided by an
8-bit prescale value (1 to 256).
STM has the following features:
• One 32-bit count-up timer with an 8-bit prescaler
• Four 32-bit compare channels
• An independent interrupt source for each channel
• Ability to stop the timer in Debug mode
The s32g platform is declined into two versions, the s32g2 and the
s32g3. The former has a STM block with 8 timers and the latter has 12
timers.
The platform is designed to have one usable STM instance per core on
the system which is composed of 3 x Cortex-M3 + 4 Cortex-A53 for the
s32g2 and 3 x Cortex-M3 + 8 Cortex-A53 for the s32g3.
There is a special STM instance called STM_TS which is dedicated to
the timestamp. The 7th STM instance STM_07 is directly tied to the
STM_TS which means it is not usable as a clockevent.
The driver instantiate each STM described in the device tree as a
clocksource and a clockevent conforming to the reference manual even
if the Linux system does not use all of the clocksource. Each
clockevent will have a cpumask set for a specific CPU.
Given the counter is shared between the clocksource and the
clockevent, the STM module can not be disabled by one or another so
the refcounting mechanism is used to stop the counter when it reaches
zero and to start it when it is one. The suspend and resume relies on
the refcount to stop the module.
As the device tree will have multiple STM entries, the driver can be
probed in parallel with the async option but it is not enabled
yet. However, the driver code takes care of preventing a race by
putting a lock to protect the number of STM instances global variable
which means it is ready to support the option when enough testing will
be done with the underlying time framework.

System Tick Counter is present on Ralink SoCs RT3352 and MT7620. This
driver has been in 'arch/mips/ralink' directory since the beggining of
Ralink architecture support. However, it can be moved into a more proper
place in 'drivers/clocksource'. Hence add it here adding also support for
compile test targets and reducing LOC in architecture code folder.

On MediaTek platforms, CPUXGPT is the source for the AArch64 System
Timer, read through CNTVCT_EL0.
The handling for starting this timer ASAP was introduced in commit
327e93cf9a ("clocksource/drivers/timer-mediatek: Implement CPUXGPT timers")
which description also contains an important full explanation of the
reasons why this driver is necessary and cannot be a module.
In preparation for an eventual conversion of timer-mediatek to a
platform_driver that would be possibly built as a module, split out
the CPUXGPT timers driver to a new timer-mediatek-cpux.c driver.
This commit brings no functional changes.

Patch series from Nick Hawkins:
"The GXP is the HPE BMC SoC that is used in the majority of HPE current
generation servers. Traditionally the asic will last multiple
generations of server before being replaced.
Info about SoC:
HPE GXP is the name of the HPE Soc. This SoC is used to implement many
BMC features at HPE. It supports ARMv7 architecture based on the Cortex
A9 core. It is capable of using an AXI bus to which a memory controller
is attached. It has multiple SPI interfaces to connect boot flash and
BIOS flash. It uses a 10/100/1000 MAC for network connectivity. It has
multiple i2c engines to drive connectivity with a host infrastructure.
The initial patches enable the watchdog and timer enabling the host to
be able to boot."

"The asm-generic tree contains three separate changes for linux-5.19:
- The h8300 architecture is retired after it has been effectively
unmaintained for a number of years. This is the last architecture
we supported that has no MMU implementation, but there are still a
few architectures (arm, m68k, riscv, sh and xtensa) that support
CPUs with and without an MMU.
- A series to add a generic ticket spinlock that can be shared by
most architectures with a working cmpxchg or ll/sc type atomic,
including the conversion of riscv, csky and openrisc. This series
is also a prerequisite for the loongarch64 architecture port that
will come as a separate pull request.
- A cleanup of some exported uapi header files to ensure they can be
included from user space without relying on other kernel headers"

Add support for the HPE GXP SOC timer. The GXP supports several different
kinds of timers but for the purpose of this driver there is only support
for the General Timer. The timer has a 1us resolution and is 32 bits. The
timer also creates a child watchdog device as the register region is the
same.

remove the h8300 architecture
This is clearly the least actively maintained architecture we have at
the moment, and probably the least useful. It is now the only one that
does not support MMUs at all, and most of the boards only support 4MB
of RAM, out of which the defconfig kernel needs more than half just
for .text/.data.
Guenter Roeck did the original patch to remove the architecture in 2013
after it had already been obsolete for a while, and Yoshinori Sato brought
it back in a much more modern form in 2015. Looking at the git history
since the reinstantiation, it's clear that almost all commits in the tree
are build fixes or cross-architecture cleanups:

The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit
RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the
kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were
already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes
employees.
As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V,
and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels
provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline
support any more.
While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets
worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best
to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns
out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer
to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.

[arnd: rewrite changelog to provide more background]
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
The MSC313e-compatible SoCs have 3 timer hardware blocks. All of these
are free running 32-bit increasing counters and can generate interrupts.
Based onto a maximum value register, each timer can either count from 0
to max, one time then stop (which generates interrupts) or can count
from 0 to max and then roll. This commit adds basic support for these
timers, the first timer block being used as clocksource/sched_clock
and delay, while the others will be used as clockevents.
