Subject: [PATCH 2.6.13-git] Fix IXP4xx CLOCK_TICK_RATE
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 13:30:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050823203029.GA11370@plexity.net> (raw)
[RMK is out for the week so sending this direct as it should go into 2.6.13]
As pointed out in the following thread, the CLOCK_TICK_RATE setting for
IXP4xx is incorrect b/c the HW ignores the lowest 2 bits of the LATCH value.
http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2005-August/030950.html
Tnx to George Anziger and Egil Hjelmeland for finding the issue.

Even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day.
