Commit c387f07e6205 (clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Discard unavailable
timers correctly) changed the way the driver makes sure both the memory
and system-register timers have been probed before finalizing the probing.

There is a interesting flaw in this logic that leads to this final step
never to be executed. Things seems to work pretty well until something
actually needs the data that is produced during this final stage.

For example, KVM explodes on the first run of a guest when executed on
a platform that has both memory and sysreg nodes (Juno, for example).

As far as I can tell, the logic is flawed for all cases except two
functional nodes that we manage to probe.


Agreed, it's my mistake. I inverted the logic incorrectly when I moved
it to a function while adding of_node_put in v2 of the patch.

I think wrong DTB got picked up when I tested this. I am sorry for that.


Just fix the damned logic, and enjoy booting VMs again.

Tested on a Juno system.

The new logic makes sense to me, so:

(This time tested all possible case)
