From 8dfa741f146b39eb59ef2094e03f47079ca99eb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Baechle Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2007 17:33:55 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [MIPS] Sibyte: Stop timers before programming next even. We have no guarantee by the generic time code that the timer is stopped when the ->next_event method is called. Modifying the Timer Initial Count register while the timer is enabled has UNPREDICTABLE effect according to the BCM1250/BCM1125/BCM1125H User Manual. So stop the timer before reprogramming. This is a paranoia fix; no ill effects have been observed previously. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle --- Reading git-format-patch failed
