From: Paul Burton <paulburton@xxxxxxxxxx> In multi-cluster MIPS I6500 systems we have a GIC in each cluster, each with its own counter. When a cluster powers up the counter will be stopped, with the COUNTSTOP bit set in the GIC_CONFIG register. In single cluster systems it has been fine for us to clear COUNTSTOP once in gic_clocksource_of_init() in order to start the counter, since with only one cluster we know that we won't be resetting that cluster's GIC at any point (ignoring suspend/resume cycles which would need to handle clearing COUNTSTOP in the resume path). Once we support multi-cluster systems this will only have started the counter in the boot cluster, and any CPUs in other clusters will find their counter stopped which will break the GIC clock_event_device. Resolve this by having CPUs clear the COUNTSTOP bit when they come online, using the existing gic_starting_cpu() CPU hotplug callback. This will allow CPUs in secondary clusters to ensure that the cluster's GIC counter is running as expected.
