Right, so some good news! After Samuel provided me with an openSBI setup
to actually test that timer & C3STOP is currently breaking the timers on
the D1 too! IOW the same timer durations are rounded up to the next
jiffy. He then suggested the fix for it too, see below the scissors :)

I think the revert in patch 1 is still needed (to preserve suspend
functionality for existing platforms) but the commit message needs to be
changed.

Perhaps, it should become:

Anyways, I think the new order of the patchset would have the below as
patch 1 & the current series on top of that. With those changes, I am
happy with the series & thanks for your (plural) help in figuring all of
this out!

Thanks,
Conor.

Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V: time: initialize broadcast hrtimer based clock event
 device

Similarly to commit 022eb8ae8b5e ("ARM: 8938/1: kernel: initialize
broadcast hrtimer based clock event device"), RISC-V needs to initiate
hrtimers before C3STOP can be used. Otherwise, the introduction of C3STOP
for the RISC-V arch timer in commit 232ccac1bd9b
("clocksource/drivers/riscv: Events are stopped during CPU suspend")
breaks timer behaviour, for example clock_nanosleep().

A test app that sleeps each cpu for 6, 5, 4, 3 ms respectively, HZ=250
& C3STOP enabled, the sleep times are rounded up to the next jiffy:
== CPU: 1 ==      == CPU: 2 ==      == CPU: 3 ==      == CPU: 4 ==
