[PATCH 4/7] clocksource: arch_timer: Add support for not-fw-configured timer on ARM64
From: Marek Szyprowski
Date: Mon Oct 08 2018 - 08:51:16 EST
Use common infrastructure for ARM Architected Timers erratum to enable
support for systems with broken CPU firmware (timer registers not
properly configured). This mode has been already availabled on ARM
(32bits) architecture. This enables to run Linux kernel on ARM64 boards
using physical architected timers instead of the virtual ones. Examples
of such system with broken firmware are Samsung Exynos5433 SoC based
TM2(e) boards, which is already deployed for years and updating firmware
is not possible.
