Merge tag 'timers-core-2020-12-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Core:

   - Robustness improvements for the NOHZ tick management

   - Fixes and consolidation of the NTP/RTC synchronization code

   - Small fixes and improvements in various places

   - A set of function documentation udpates and fixes

   Drivers:

   - Cleanups and improvements in various clocksoure/event drivers

   - Removal of the EZChip NPS clocksource driver as the platfrom
     support was removed from ARC

   - The usual set of new device tree binding and json conversions

   - The RTC driver which have been acked by the RTC maintainer:

       * fix a long standing bug in the MC146818 library code which can
         cause reading garbage during the RTC internal update.

       * changes related to the NTP/RTC consolidation work"
