Subject: ARM: fix footbridge clockevent device
From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4ff859fe1dc0da0f87bbdfff78f527898878fa4a upstream.
The clockevents code was being told that the footbridge clock event
device ticks at 16x the rate which it actually does. This leads to
timekeeping problems since it allows the clocksource to wrap before
the kernel notices. Fix this by using the correct clock.
Fixes: 4e8d76373c9fd ("ARM: footbridge: convert to clockevents/clocksource")
