[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dyntick is superseded by the clocksource/clockevent infrastructure,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.

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 | ||

717 | echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/timer/timer0/dyn_tick | ||

719 | Alternatively, if you want dynamic tick automatically enabled | ||

722 | Please note that dynamic tick may affect the accuracy of | ||

724 | Currently at least OMAP, PXA2xx and SA11x0 platforms are known | ||
