Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 134/212] clocksource: mips-gic-timer: Enable counter when CPUs start

From: Paul Burton <paulburton@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 3128b0a2e0cf6e07aa78e5f8cf7dd9cd59dc8174 ]

In multi-cluster MIPS I6500 systems there is a GIC in each cluster,
each with its own counter. When a cluster powers up the counter will
be stopped, with the COUNTSTOP bit set in the GIC_CONFIG register.

In single cluster systems, it has been fine to clear COUNTSTOP once
in gic_clocksource_of_init() to start the counter. In multi-cluster
systems, this will only have started the counter in the boot cluster,
and any CPUs in other clusters will find their counter stopped which
will break the GIC clock_event_device.

Resolve this by having CPUs clear the COUNTSTOP bit when they come
online, using the existing gic_starting_cpu() CPU hotplug callback. This
will allow CPUs in secondary clusters to ensure that the cluster's GIC
counter is running as expected.
