Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86/apic: Future-proof TSC_DEADLINE quirk for SKX

From: Len Brown <len.brown@...el.com>

All SKX with stepping higher than 4 support the TSC_DEADLINE,
no matter the microcode version.

Fixes: 616dd5872e ("x86/apic: Update TSC_DEADLINE quirk with additional SKX stepping")

Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@...el.com>
---
Without this patch, upcoming SKX steppings will not be able to use
their TSC_DEADLINE timer.
