[PATCH] ARM: 2701/1: free up ixp2000 timer 4 for the watchdog
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
The IXP2000 has four timers, but if we're on an A-step IXP2800, timer
2 and 3 don't work. We need two timers for timekeeping (one for the
timer interrupt and one for tracking missed jiffies), so on early
IXP2800s we have no other choice but to use timer 1 and 4 for that,
but on all other IXP2000s we'd rather leave timer 4 free since that's
the only timer we can use for the watchdog.
So, on buggy IXP2000s (i.e. the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 4 for
tracking missed jiffies, and on all all non-buggy IXP2000s (i.e.
everything but the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 2.
On a pre-production IXP2800, this patch should print these messages
on boot:
Enabling IXP2800 erratum #25 workaround
Unable to use IXP2000 watchdog due to IXP2800 erratum #25
On any non-buggy IXP2800 (as well as on IXP2400s) you shouldn't see
anything at all, and the watchdog should be usable again.
