    ARM: shmobile: timer: Fix preset_lpj leading to too short delays · c531fb27
    Geert Uytterhoeven 提交于
    On all shmobile ARM SoCs, loop-based delays may complete early, which
    can be after only 1/3 (Cortex A9) or 1/2 (Cortex A7 or A15) of the
    minimum required time.
    
    This is caused by calculating preset_lpj based on incorrect assumptions
    about the number of clock cycles per loop:
      - All of Cortex A7, A9, and A15 run __loop_delay() at 1 loop per
        CPU clock cycle,
      - As of commit 11d4bb1b ("ARM: 7907/1: lib: delay-loop: Add
        align directive to fix BogoMIPS calculation"), Cortex A8 runs
        __loop_delay() at 1 loop per 2 instead of 3 CPU clock cycles.
    
    On SoCs with Cortex A7 and/or A15 CPU cores, this went unnoticed, as
    delays use the ARM arch timer if available. R-Car Gen2 doesn't work if
    the arch timer is disabled. However, APE6 can be used without the arch
    timer.
