I don't see the point of this - we were free of GENERIC_TIME on ARM shortly after it was originally killed off. The problem is you can't stop people introducing new uses of this - because it existed once and there's nothing which errors out on its presence, people are going to continue submitting patches with it in. And it's going to continue being missed at the review stage. I've a similar problem with folk on ARM including mach/gpio.h as their sole gpio header file rather than linux/gpio.h - I've been trying for the last 1-2 years to educate people to use linux/ in preference. You can't do it, and I'm still just about the only one who picks up on that. (SoC maintainers don't care.) They will end up caring when I push a change during the next merge window though, so I'll eventually stop mach/gpio.h being included. (Instead, it'll be asm/gpio.h). GENERIC_TIME though... I don't think you'll ever stop new uses of it creeping in unless you can arrange for something to error out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input?
