Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Time, timers and related driver updates:

   - Prevent unnecessary timer softirq invocations by extending the
     tracking of the next expiring timer in the timer wheel beyond the
     existing NOHZ functionality.

     The tracking overhead at enqueue time is within the noise, but on
     sensitive workloads the avoidance of the soft interrupt invocation
     is a measurable improvement.

   - The obligatory new clocksource driver for Ingenic X100 OST

   - The usual fixes, improvements, cleanups and extensions for newer
     chip variants all over the driver space"
