Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2015 00:35:10 +0300 From: Roman Volkov <v1ron@...l.ru> To: Tony Prisk <linux@...sktech.co.nz>, Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@...aro.org>, Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, Alexey Charkov <alchark@...il.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>, linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Roman Volkov <rvolkov@...os.org> Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] clocksource/vt8500: Remove the 'loops' variable From: Roman Volkov <rvolkov@...os.org> The purpose of the 'loops' variable is unclear. vt8500 hardware does not require any protections, in case if these variables intended for preventing infinite loops (identical PXA timer works perfectly without these ones).
