[PATCH 6/7] clocksource: mips-gic-timer: Refine rating computation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It is a good clocksource which usually go as fast as CPU core
and have a low access latency, so raise the base of rating
from Good to desired when we know that it has a stable frequency.

Increase frequency addend dividend to 100000000 (10MHz) to
reasonably accommodate multi GHz level clock, also cap rating
within current level.
