From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit ccbfcac05866ebe6eb3bc6d07b51d4ed4fcde436 upstream. The recent addition of a sanity check for a too low start tick time seems breaking some applications that uses aloop with a certain slave timer setup. They may have the initial resolution 0, hence it's treated as if it were a too low value. Relax and skip the check for the slave timer instance for addressing the regression.
