From: Roman Volkov <[email protected]>

vt8500 hangs in nanosleep() function, starting from commit
c6eb3f70d4482806dc2d3e1e3c7736f497b1d418, making the system unusable.
Per investigation, looks like set_next_event() now receives too small
delta and fails with -ETIME.

Google group discussion:

v2:
Address comments by Alexey Charkov. Merge patches to get less amount of
changes (three patches instead of four).

Tested on my WM8650, no issues in three days uptime.

Roman Volkov (3):
clocksource/vt8500: Use MIN_OSCR_DELTA from PXA
clocksource/vt8500: Remove the 'loops' variable
clocksource/vt8500: Add register R/W functions

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] clocksource/vt8500: Use MIN_OSCR_DELTA from PXA

From: Roman Volkov <[email protected]>

Since vt8500 and PXA timers are identical, use MIN_OSCR_DELTA from PXA,
which is bigger than existing value. It is required to determine the
minimum delay which hardware can generate.

This commit fixes vt8500 breakage in Linux 4.2 introduced by
c6eb3f7 ('hrtimer: Get rid of hrtimer softirq')

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] clocksource/vt8500: Remove the 'loops' variable

From: Roman Volkov <[email protected]>

The purpose of the 'loops' variable is unclear. vt8500 hardware does not
require any protections, in case if these variables intended for preventing
infinite loops (identical PXA timer works perfectly without these ones).

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] clocksource/vt8500: Add register R/W functions

From: Roman Volkov <[email protected]>

vt8500 timer requires special synchronization for accessing some of its
registers. Define special read and write functions to handle this process
transparently.

Use relaxed read/write, according to the following:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/117658:
"For accesses to the same device we don't
actually need any barriers on ARM as this is guaranteed by the
architecture."

To perform a read from the Timer Count register, user must write a one
to the Timer Control register and wait for completion flag by polling the
Timer Read Count Active bit.

To perform a write to the Count or Match registers, user must poll the
write completion flag for the corresponding register to ensure that the
previous write completed and then write the actual value.

This whole series looks good to me as far as VT8500 is concerned.
Thanks a lot Roman for fixing it and streamlining the bus
synchronization.

Daniel, Thomas, any chance you could push this to -next via your
clocksource tree?

Best regards,
Alexey
