From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: marc.zyngier@arm.com (Marc Zyngier) Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2013 09:29:35 +0000 Subject: [REPOST PATCH] ARM: sunxi: stop timer from ticking before enabling interrupts Message-ID: <1385976575-28011-1-git-send-email-marc.zyngier@arm.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org The sun4i timer can still be ticking when we enable the interrupt. If another timer is actually used (A7 architected timer, for example), odds are that the interrupt will eventually fire with the event_handler pointer being NULL. The obvious fix it to stop the timer before registering the interrupt. Observed and tested on sun7i (cubietruck).
