Subject: [PATCH] msm: timer: compensate for timer shift in msm_read_timer_count

Some msm targets have timers whose lower bits are unreliable. So, we
present our timers as lower frequency than they actually are, and ignore
the bottom 5 bits on such targets. This compensation was erroneously
removed from the msm_read_timer_count function, so restore it.

This was broken by 94790ec25 "msm: timer: SMP timer support for msm".

Could you comment in the code with something explaining what the shift
is doing.

Probably best to describe this near msm_clock's definition (or
MSM_DGT_SHIFT), since it is a bit unclear what these values are.
A good (but short) description of how the shifts and even why.

The comment shouldn't be in the function body (CodingStyle, chapter 8).
