[PATCH] clocksource: extend the max_delta_ns of timer-riscv and timer-clint to ULONG_MAX

[PATCH] clocksource: extend the max_delta_ns of timer-riscv and timer-clint to ULONG_MAX

[Vincent Chen]

When registering the riscv-timer or clint-timer as a clock_event device,
the driver needs to specify the value of max_delta_ticks. This value
directly influences the max_delta_ns, which represents the maximum time
interval for configuring subsequent clock events. Currently, both
riscv-timer and clint-timer are set with a max_delta_ticks value of
0x7fff_ffff. When the timer operates at a high frequency, this values
limists the system to sleep only for a short time. For the 1GHz case,
the sleep cannot exceed two seconds. To address this limitation, refer to
other timer implementations to extend it to 2^(bit-width of the timer) - 1.
Because the bit-width of $mtimecmp is 64bit, this value becomes ULONG_MAX
(0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff).
