clocksource/drivers/stm32: Fix kernel panic with multiple timers The current code hides a couple of bugs: - The global variable 'clock_event_ddata' is overwritten each time the init function is invoked. This is fixed with a kmemdup() instead of assigning the global variable. That prevents a memory corruption when several timers are defined in the DT. - The clockevent's event_handler is NULL if the time framework does not select the clockevent when registering it, this is fine but the init code generates in any case an interrupt leading to dereference this NULL pointer. The stm32 timer works with shadow registers, a mechanism to cache the registers. When a change is done in one buffered register, we need to artificially generate an event to force the timer to copy the content of the register to the shadowed register. The auto-reload register (ARR) is one of the shadowed register as well as the prescaler register (PSC), so in order to force the copy, we issue an event which in turn leads to an interrupt and the NULL dereference. This is fixed by inverting two lines where we clear the status register before enabling the update event interrupt. As this kernel crash is resulting from the combination of these two bugs, the fixes are grouped into a single patch.
