In https://lore.kernel.org/all/875xxhi1ty.ffs@tglx I asked you to
provide a change log which explains the WHY and not the WHAT. The new
change log still fails to explain WHY this change is needed and which
problem it is trying to solve.

I further asked you to do:

1) Add the clocksource_base struct and provide the infrastructure in
get_device_system_crosststamp()

2) Make TSC/ART use it

But this still does #1 and #2 in one go.

If you don't understand my review comments, then please ask. If you
disagree with them then please tell me and argue with me.

Just ignoring them is not an option.

Thanks,

tglx
