Update: I found that SMP-enabled kernels (like the generic one I was using) do
load cs5535-clockevt fine but ignore it and keep using the pit timer instead.
Responsible seems kernel/time/tick-common.c: tick_check_new_device()
/*
* If the cpu affinity of the device interrupt can not
* be set, ignore it.
*/
if (!irq_can_set_affinity(newdev->irq))
goto out_bc;
Looks like it has been that way for quite some time, maybe cs5535-clockevt
hasn't ever worked on SMP kernels.
If I turn off SMP, cs5535-clockevt replaces the pit timer and the MFGPT IRQ
starts firing just as you said - at least on 3.0.9. 3.2-rc5 prefers to hang
instead, looks like no timer events get generated. Sigh.
I'll try to narrow it down tomorrow, but now I'm calling it a day.
Cheers
Jens
