Subject: [PATCH] ARM: local timers: Allow boot CPU to have its timer running early
Date: Wed,  1 Jun 2011 15:03:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1306937006-26597-1-git-send-email-marc.zyngier@arm.com> (raw)

Currently, the boot CPU has its local timer enabled long after
the delay loop has been calibrated. This makes it impossible to
boot a system that only uses local timers, like the A15.

Use late_time_init hook to initialize the boot CPU local timer.
Since shmobile is already using this hook, add an ARM specific
arm_late_time_init hook that platforms can use instead.
