Hmm, no. tick-broadcast-hrtimer.o depends on TICK_ONESHOT=y. So this
is covered by the check for the broadcast device, which is NULL.
But there is another variant:
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST=y TICK_ONESHOT=y and 'highres=off
nohz=off' on the kernel command line.
So we need to have the broadcast_needs_cpu() check in that case as
well. Updated patch below.
Thanks,
