[PATCH v3 11/11] ARC: [plat-eznps] avoid toggling of DPC register

From: Noam Camus
Date: Thu Jun 15 2017 - 04:45:10 EST


From: Elad Kanfi <eladkan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

HW bug description: in case of HW thread context switch
the dpc configuration of the exiting thread is dragged
one cycle into the next thread.
In order to avoid the consequences of this bug, the DPC register
is set to an initial value, and not changed afterwards.
