From f2be64b3b15f52ceb83ff26abc10705a31ae5352 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 21:01:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] ARM: 2760/1: Add a warning on dynamic tick timekeeping on some platforms Patch from Tony Lindgren This patch was suggested by RMK, and adds a warning on the accuracy of timekeeping when using dynamic tick on some platforms. Depending on the timer implementation, dynamic tick may affect the accuracy of timekeeping. Currently at least OMAP is known to have accurate timekeeping with dynamic tick.
