Currently the DW APB Timer driver binds all clockevent timers to
CPU #0. This isn't good for multiple reasons. First of all seeing
the device is placed on APB bus (which makes it accessible from any
CPU core), accessible over MMIO and having the DYNIRQ flag set we
can be sure that manually binding the timer to any CPU just isn't
correct. By doing so we just set an extra limitation on device usage.
This also doesn't reflect the device actual capability, since by
setting the IRQ affinity we can make it virtually local to any CPU.
Secondly imagine if you had a real CPU-local timer with the same
rating and the same CPU-affinity. In this case if DW APB timer was
registered first, then due to the clockevent framework tick-timer
selection procedure we'll end up with the real CPU-local timer being
left unselected for clock-events tracking. But on most of the platforms
(MIPS/ARM/etc) such timers are normally embedded into the CPU core and
are accessible with much better performance then devices placed on APB.
For instance in MIPS architectures there is r4k-timer, which is
CPU-local, assigned with the same rating, and normally its
clockevent device is registered after the platform-specific one.

So in order to fix all of these issues lets set the DW APB clockevent
timer cpumask to be 'cpu_possible_mask'. By doing so the clockevent
framework would prefer to select the real CPU-local timer instead
of DW APB one. Otherwise if there is no other than DW APB device for
clockevents tracking then it will be selected.

Hm, seems to me it has been a mistake to remove the CPU affiliation for the
timers since x86 has got a specific use-case with assigning the timers to all
detected CPUs. Though for our needs we don't need this feature. I'll make the
affiliation optional then. Like this:

DW APB Timer OF-based devices won't make the timer affiliated to the CPU #0, but
to any possible CPU by passing -1 to the dw_apb_clockevent_init():
--- drivers/clocksource/dw_apb_timer_of.c
+++ drivers/clocksource/dw_apb_timer_of.c
-       ced = dw_apb_clockevent_init(0, event_timer->name, 300, iobase, irq,
                                     rate);
+       ced = dw_apb_clockevent_init(-1, event_timer->name, 300, iobase, irq,
                                     rate);

What do you think?
