'struct timespec' is getting removed from the kernel. The usage in ipmi
was fixed before in commit 48862ea2ce86 ("ipmi: Update timespec usage
to timespec64"), but unfortunately it crept back in.
The busy looping code can better use ktime_t anyway, so use that
there to simplify the implementation.
I've gone through the remaining uses of time_t etc and come up with a
set of 90 patches of varying complexity and importance, to the point
of being able to remove the old time_t/timeval/timespec from the kernel
headers completely.
This set includes the eight patches that I think should be merged
