[PATCH] m68k/coldfire/pit: set ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks
From: Nicolai Stange
Date: Thu Mar 30 2017 - 15:44:39 EST
In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware,
all clockevent device drivers must set ->min_delta_ticks and
->max_delta_ticks rather than ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns: a
clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the
ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant.
Make the m68k arch's coldfire clockevent driver initialize these fields
properly.
This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the
clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns
and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will
purge the initialization of ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from this
driver.

Notes:
This prerequisite patch is part of a larger effort to feed NTP
corrections into the clockevent devices' frequencies and thus
avoiding their notion of time to diverge from the system's
one. If you're interested, the current state of the whole series
can be found at [1].
If you haven't got any objections and these prerequisites get
merged by 4.12 everywhere, I'll proceed with the remainder of
this series in 4.13.
Applicable to next-20170324 as well as to John' Stultz tree [2].
