Subject[PATCH linux-next v4 0/4] Support timer drivers as loadable modules
Date
From: Walter Chang <walter.chang@mediatek.com>

This set of patches aims to make SoC related timer drivers, such as
timer-mediatek.c become loadable modules for the Generic Kernel Image
(GKI).

This driver registers an always-on timer as tick_broadcast_device on
MediaTek SoCs. If the system does not load this module at startup,
system will also boot normally by using built-in `bc_hrtimer` instead.
Besides, the previous experiment [1] indicates that the SYST/GPT, in
combination with a loadable module, is fully operational.

The first three patches export functions and remove __init markings to
support loadable timer modules.

The fourth patch makes timer-mediatek.c become loadable module for GKI.
