Currently, the timer broadcast mechanism is defined by a function
pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental mechanism for
broadcast is architecture-specific, this means that clock_event_device
drivers cannot be shared across multiple architectures.

This patch adds an (optional) architecture-specific function for timer
tick broadcast, allowing drivers which may require broadcast
functionality to be shared across multiple architectures.

This is missing a newline. You may also want to put the string on a
single line so we can easily grep for it in the sources.

Same one line comment here. I thought checkpatch didn't complain anymore.

Whoops, fixed. I'll change both strings to be single line.

In fact it actively warns. Not sure how I missed that.

Thanks,
