Subject: [PATCH 22/25] clocksource/drivers/tegra: Cycles can't be 0

From: Dmitry Osipenko <digetx@...il.com>

Tegra's timer uses n+1 scheme for the counter, i.e. timer will fire after
one tick if 0 is loaded. The minimum and maximum numbers of oneshot ticks
are defined by clockevents_config_and_register(min, max) invocation and
the min value is set to 1 tick. Hence "cycles" value can't ever be 0,
unless it's a bug in clocksource core.
