Ok. > Plus the logic to set the actual value was wrong as well, so this > code has always been broken. This lacks an explanation why the logic is wrong and what the actual fix is. > Signed-off-by: Maxime Ripard <[email protected]> > --- > drivers/clocksource/sun4i_timer.c | 12 +++++++++--- > 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/clocksource/sun4i_timer.c > b/drivers/clocksource/sun4i_timer.c > index 84ace76..695c8c8 100644 > --- a/drivers/clocksource/sun4i_timer.c > +++ b/drivers/clocksource/sun4i_timer.c > @@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ > > #include <linux/clk.h> > #include <linux/clockchips.h> > +#include <linux/delay.h> > #include <linux/interrupt.h> > #include <linux/irq.h> > #include <linux/irqreturn.h> > @@ -61,9 +62,14 @@ static void sun4i_clkevt_mode(enum clock_event_mode mode, > static int sun4i_clkevt_next_event(unsigned long evt, > struct clock_event_device *unused) > { > - u32 u = readl(timer_base + TIMER_CTL_REG(0)); > - writel(evt, timer_base + TIMER_CNTVAL_REG(0)); > - writel(u | TIMER_CTL_ENABLE | TIMER_CTL_AUTORELOAD, > + u32 val = readl(timer_base + TIMER_CTL_REG(0)); > + writel(val & ~TIMER_CTL_ENABLE, timer_base + TIMER_CTL_REG(0)); > + udelay(1); That udelay() is more than suspicious. Is there really no other way to deal with that hardware? If no, you really need to put a proper explanation for that into the code.
