[patch 05/15] clocksource watchdog highres enablement

[Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: watchdog-highres.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3178 bytes --]

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

The clocksource watchdog marks a clock as highres capable before it
checked the deviation from the watchdog clocksource even for a single
time. Make sure that the deviation is at least checked once before
doing the switch to highres mode.
