clocksource/drivers/timer-atmel-tcb: Fix initialization on SAM9 hardware
[ Upstream commit 6d3bc4c02d59996d1d3180d8ed409a9d7d5900e0 ] On SAM9 hardware two cascaded 16 bit timers are used to form a 32 bit high resolution timer that is used as scheduler clock when the kernel has been configured that way (CONFIG_ATMEL_CLOCKSOURCE_TCB). The driver initially triggers a reset-to-zero of the two timers but this reset is only performed on the next rising clock. For the first timer this is ok - it will be in the next 60ns (16MHz clock). For the chained second timer this will only happen after the first timer overflows, i.e. after 2^16 clocks (~4ms with a 16MHz clock). So with other words the scheduler clock resets to 0 after the first 2^16 clock cycles. It looks like that the scheduler does not like this and behaves wrongly over its lifetime, e.g. some tasks are scheduled with a long delay. Why that is and if there are additional requirements for this behaviour has not been further analysed. There is a simple fix for resetting the second timer as well when the first timer is reset and this is to set the ATMEL_TC_ASWTRG_SET bit in the Channel Mode register (CMR) of the first timer. This will also rise the TIOA line (clock input of the second timer) when a software trigger respective SYNC is issued.
