4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>
commit 41744213602a206f24adcb4a2b7551db3c700e72 upstream.
The cr16 interval timer of each CPU is not syncronized to other cr16
timers in other CPUs in a SMP system. So, delay the registration of the
cr16 clocksource until all CPUs have been detected and then - if we are
on a SMP machine - mark the cr16 clocksource as unstable and lower it's
rating before registering it at the clocksource framework.
This patch fixes the stalled CPU warnings which we have seen since
introduction of the cr16 clocksource.
