The patch titled m68knommu: init coldfire timer TRR with n - 1, not n has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was m68knommu-init-coldfire-timer-trr-with-n-1-not-n.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: m68knommu: init coldfire timer TRR with n - 1, not n From: Philippe De Muyter <phdm@xxxxxxxxx> The coldfire timer must be initialised to n - 1 if we want it to count n cycles between each tick interrupt. This was already fixed, but has been lost with the conversion to GENERIC_TIMER.
