+From a362c638bdf052bf424bce7645d39b101090f6ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

+Subject: [PATCH] clocksource/events: Fix fallout of generic code changes
+
+powerpc grew a new warning due to the type change of clockevent->mult.
+
+The architectures which use parts of the generic time keeping
+infrastructure tripped over my wrong assumption that
+clocksource_register is only used when GENERIC_TIME=y.
+
+I should have looked and also I should have known better. These
+renitent Gaul villages are racking my nerves. Some serious deprecating
+is due.
