[PATCH] ARM: omap2: drop broken broadcast timer hack

[PATCH] ARM: omap2: drop broken broadcast timer hack

[Arnd Bergmann]

The OMAP4 timer code had a special hack for using the broadcast timer
without SMP. Since the dmtimer is now gone, this also needs to be dropped
to avoid a link failure for non-SMP AM43xx configurations:

kernel/time/tick-broadcast.o: in function `tick_device_uses_broadcast':
tick-broadcast.c:(.text+0x130): undefined reference to `tick_broadcast'

Fixes: 2ee04b88547a ("ARM: OMAP2+: Drop old timer code for dmtimer and 32k counter")

Hmm this sounds like a regression though. Isn't this needed for using
the ARM local timers on non-SMP SoC, so a separate timer from dmtimer?

I've probably removed something accidentally to cause this.

Sounds like arch/arm/mach-omap2/Makefile change needs to be removed
to always still build in timer.o. And probably timer.c needs back
the ifdef for CONFIG_SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER.

I'll take a look today.

Tony

CPU local timers not being in always ON power domain use to be the
reason on early version of the SOCs but later SOC moved the CPU local
timer also in always on domain. Probably AM43xx does loose local timer
on CPU PD in low power so yes broadcast would be needed with dmtimer
help.

Should I apply the fix directly to the arm/soc branch that has the
