[PATCH 4.15 024/122] parisc: Use cr16 interval timers unconditionally on qemu

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Mar 07 2018 - 15:52:04 EST


4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>

commit 5ffa8518851f1401817c15d2a7eecc0373c26ff9 upstream.

When running on qemu we know that the (emulated) cr16 cpu-internal
clocks are syncronized. So let's use them unconditionally on qemu.
