Hi,

We needed inputs on possible optimization that can be done to timecounter/cyclecounter structures/usage.
This mail is in response to review of patch https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/188448/.

As Chris's observation below, about dozen of timecounter users in the kernel have below structures
defined individually:

spinlock_t lock;
struct cyclecounter cc;
struct timecounter tc;

Can we move lock and cc to tc? That way it will be convenient.
Also it will allow unifying the locking/overflow watchdog handling across all drivers.

Please suggest.

Thanks
Sagar
