[RFC PATCH v2 02/14] m68k: mac: Fix VIA timer counter accesses

From: Finn Thain
Date: Sun Nov 18 2018 - 20:23:30 EST


This resolves some bugs that affect VIA timer counter accesses.
Avoid lost interrupts caused by reading the counter low byte register.
Make allowance for the fact that the counter will be decremented to
0xFFFF before being reloaded.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Signed-off-by: Finn Thain <fthain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changed since v1:
- Test the timer interrupt flag unconditionally.
- Drop some extraneous clean up.
- Don't try to recover from lost timer interrupts. Don't lose them
in the first place. That means giving up on the timer counter low byte.
The extra precision is probably not worth the extra complexity and
I couldn't make it work anyway.
