clocksource: sh_cmt: Compute rate before registration again
With the upcoming NTP correction related rate adjustments to be implemented in the clockevents core, the latter needs to get informed about every rate change of a clockevent device made after its registration. Currently, sh_cmt violates this requirement in that it registers its clockevent device with a dummy rate and sets its final ->mult and ->shift values from its ->set_state_oneshot() and ->set_state_periodic() functions respectively. This patch moves the setting of the clockevent device's ->mult and ->shift values to before its registration. Note that there has been some back and forth regarding this question with respect to the clocksource also provided by this driver: commit f4d7c356 ("clocksource: sh_cmt: compute mult and shift before registration") moves the rate determination from the clocksource's ->enable() function to before its registration. OTOH, the later commit 3593f5fe ("clocksource: sh_cmt: __clocksource_updatefreq_hz() update") basically reverts this, saying "Without this patch the old code uses clocksource_register() together with a hack that assumes a never changing clock rate." However, I checked all current sh_cmt users in arch/sh as well as in arch/arm/mach-shmobile carefully and right now, none of them changes any rate in any clock tree relevant to sh_cmt after their respective time_init(). Since all sh_cmt instances are created after time_init(), none of them should ever observe any clock rate changes. What's more, both, a clocksource as well as a clockevent device, can immediately get selected for use at their registration and thus, enabled at this point already. So it's probably safer to assume a "never changing clock rate" here. - Move the struct sh_cmt_channel's ->rate member to struct sh_cmt_device: it's a property of the underlying clock which is in turn specific to the sh_cmt_device. - Determine the ->rate value in sh_cmt_setup() at device probing rather than at first usage. - Set the clockevent device's ->mult and ->shift values right before its registration. - Although not strictly necessary for the upcoming clockevent core changes, set the clocksource's rate at its registration for consistency.
