commit 471ef0b5a8aaca4296108e756b970acfc499ede4 upstream.
GCC's named address space checks errors out with:
drivers/clocksource/timer-of.c: In function ‘timer_of_irq_exit’:
drivers/clocksource/timer-of.c:29:46: error: passing argument 2 of
‘free_percpu_irq’ from pointer to non-enclosed address space
29 | free_percpu_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt);
| ^~~~~~
In file included from drivers/clocksource/timer-of.c:8:
./include/linux/interrupt.h:201:43: note: expected ‘__seg_gs void *’
but argument is of type ‘struct clock_event_device *’
201 | extern void free_percpu_irq(unsigned int, void __percpu *);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/clocksource/timer-of.c: In function ‘timer_of_irq_init’:

Sparse warns about:
timer-of.c:29:46: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
timer-of.c:29:46: expected void [noderef] __percpu *
timer-of.c:29:46: got struct clock_event_device *clkevt
timer-of.c:74:51: warning: incorrect type in argument 4 (different address spaces)
timer-of.c:74:51: expected void [noderef] __percpu *percpu_dev_id
timer-of.c:74:51: got struct clock_event_device *clkevt
It appears the code is incorrect as reported by Uros Bizjak:
"The referred code is questionable as it tries to reuse
the clkevent pointer once as percpu pointer and once as generic
pointer, which should be avoided."
This change removes the percpu related code as no drivers is using it.
