From 0bf02ce605b8780223b10739ab7c533de9eb10cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Frysinger Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2011 15:26:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Blackfin: time-ts: ack gptimer sooner to avoid missing short ints If the period of a gptimer is fairly low, we might miss an interrupt by acking it too late (we end up acking the new int as well).
