[PATCH 4.9 02/83] MIPS: kernel: only use i8253 clocksource with periodic clockevent

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Sep 04 2019 - 13:59:33 EST


[ Upstream commit a07e3324538a989b7cdbf2c679be6a7f9df2544f ]

i8253 clocksource needs a free running timer. This could only
be used, if i8253 clockevent is set up as periodic.
