From: Johan Jonker <jbx6244@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit da74858a475782a3f16470907814c8cc5950ad68 ] The clock source and the sched_clock provided by the arm_global_timer on Rockchip rk3066a/rk3188 are quite unstable because their rates depend on the CPU frequency. Recent changes to the arm_global_timer driver makes it impossible to use. On the other side, the arm_global_timer has a higher rating than the ROCKCHIP_TIMER, it will be selected by default by the time framework while we want to use the stable Rockchip clock source. Keep the arm_global_timer disabled in order to have the DW_APB_TIMER (rk3066a) or ROCKCHIP_TIMER (rk3188) selected by default.
