Re: [PATCH v16 00/15] acpi, clocksource: add GTDT driver and GTDT support in arm_arch_timer

[Xiongfeng Wang <wangxiongfeng2@huawei.com>]

Sorry for not describing specifically in the last mail.
I have applied all the patches of this patchset on Linux 4.9, and tested
the per-cpu timer and sbsa watchdog part, which function well on D05 board.
