From 5df91509d324d44cfb11e55d9cb02fe18b53b045 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "jacob.jun.pan@linux.intel.com" Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2011 13:42:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86: mrst: Remove apb timer read workaround APB timer current count was unreliable in the earlier silicon, which could result in time going backwards. This problem has been fixed in the current silicon stepping. This patch removes the workaround which was used to check and prevent timer rolling back when APB timer is used as clocksource device. The workaround code was also flawed by potential race condition around the cached read value last_read. Though a fix can be done by assigning last_read to a local variable at the beginning of apbt_read_clocksource(), but this is not necessary anymore.
