From fb3174e4ad2427c6ad90c67093d6ca97f13e8672 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2014 11:31:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: ixp4xx: fix timer latch calculation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In commit f0402f9b4711 ("ARM: ixp4xx: stop using ") I didn't intend to implement a functional change, but as Olof noticed I failed---at least a bit. Before this commit the following was used to determine the latch value used: #define IXP4XX_TIMER_FREQ 66666000 #define CLOCK_TICK_RATE \ (((IXP4XX_TIMER_FREQ / HZ & ~IXP4XX_OST_RELOAD_MASK) + 1) * HZ) #define LATCH ((CLOCK_TICK_RATE + HZ/2) / HZ) The complicated calculation was done "b/c the timer register ignores the bottom 2 bits of the LATCH value." With HZ=100 CLOCK_TICK_RATE used to calculate to 66666100 and so LATCH to 666661. In ixp4xx_set_mode the term LATCH & ~IXP4XX_OST_RELOAD_MASK was used to write to the relevant register (with IXP4XX_OST_RELOAD_MASK being 3) and so effectively 666660 was used. In commit f0402f9b4711 I translated that to: #define IXP4XX_TIMER_FREQ 66666000 #define IXP4XX_LATCH DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(IXP4XX_TIMER_FREQ, HZ) which results in the same register writes, but still doesn't bear in mind that the two least significant bits cannot be specified (which is relevant only when HZ or IXP4XX_TIMER_FREQ are changed). Instead of reverting back to the old approach use a more obvious and also more correct way to calculate LATCH. (Regarding the more correct claim: With IXP4XX_TIMER_FREQ == 66665999, the old code resulted in LATCH = 666657 corresponding to a cycle time of 0.009999940149400597 seconds (error: -6.0e-8 s) while the new approach results in LATCH = 666660 and so a cycle time of 0.010000000150001503 seconds (error: 1.5e-10 s).)
