MIPS: make cp0 counter clocksource/event usable as fallback.
The current mips clock build infrastructure lets a system only use either the MIPS cp0 counter or a SoC specific timer as a clocksource / clockevent device. This patch renames the core cp0 counter clocksource / clockevent functions from mips_* to r4k_* and updates the wrappers in asm-mips/time.h to call these renamed functions instead. Chips which can detect whether it is safe to use a chip-specific timer can now fall back on the cp0 counter if necessary and possible (e.g. Alchemy with a follow-on patch). Existing behaviour is not changed in any way. Signed-off-by: Manuel Lauss <mano@roarinelk.homelinux.net> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
