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’:
drivers/clocksource/timer-of.c:74:51: error: passing argument 4 of
‘request_percpu_irq’ from pointer to non-enclosed address space
74 | np->full_name, clkevt) :
| ^~~~~~
./include/linux/interrupt.h:190:56: note: expected ‘__seg_gs void *’
but argument is of type ‘struct clock_event_device *’
190 | const char *devname, void __percpu *percpu_dev_id)
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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
