Subject: [PATCH v6 7/7] clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: validate arch_timer_rate
Date:   Thu,  5 Mar 2020 09:06:27 +0000
Message-Id: <20200305090627.31908-8-ionela.voinescu@arm.com>
In-Reply-To: <20200305090627.31908-1-ionela.voinescu@arm.com>
References: <20200305090627.31908-1-ionela.voinescu@arm.com>

Precedence: bulk

Using an arch timer with a frequency of less than 1MHz can potentially
result in incorrect functionality in systems that assume a reasonable
rate of the arch timer of 1 to 50MHz, described as typical in the
architecture specification.

Therefore, warn if the arch timer rate is below 1MHz, which is
considered atypical and worth emphasizing.
