[ARM] dyntick: Remove obsolete and unused ARM dyntick support
dyntick is superseded by the clocksource/clockevent infrastructure, using the NO_HZ configuration option. No one implements dyntick on ARM anymore, so it's pointless keeping it around. Remove dyntick support. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

709 help
710 Select this option if you want to disable continuous timer ticks
711 and have them programmed to occur as required. This option saves
712 power as the system can remain in idle state for longer.
713
714 By default dynamic tick is disabled during the boot, and can be
715 manually enabled with:
716
717 echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/timer/timer0/dyn_tick
718
719 Alternatively, if you want dynamic tick automatically enabled
720 during boot, pass "dyntick=enable" via the kernel command string.
721
722 Please note that dynamic tick may affect the accuracy of
723 timekeeping on some platforms depending on the implementation.
724 Currently at least OMAP, PXA2xx and SA11x0 platforms are known
725 to have accurate timekeeping with dynamic tick.
