[PATCH 08/13] clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Work around broken CVAL implementations
From: Marc Zyngier
Date: Mon Aug 09 2021 - 11:27:13 EST
The Applied Micro XGene-1 SoC has a busted implementation of the
CVAL register: it looks like it is based on TVAL instead of the
other way around. The net effect of this implementation blunder
is that the maximum deadline you can program in the timer is
32bit wide.
Detect the problematic case and limit the timer to 32bit deltas.
Note that we don't tie this bug to XGene specifically, as it may
also catch similar defects on other high-quality implementations.
