    tile/time: Set ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks · 45b586ef
    Nicolai Stange authored
    In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware,
    all clockevent device drivers must set ->min_delta_ticks and
    ->max_delta_ticks rather than ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns: a
    clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the
    ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant.
    
    Currently, the tile's timer clockevent device is initialized as follows:
    
      evt->max_delta_ns = clockevent_delta2ns(MAX_TICK, evt);
    
    and
    
      .min_delta_ns = 1000,
    
    The first one translates to a ->max_delta_ticks value of MAX_TICK.
    For the latter, note that the clockevent core will superimpose a
    minimum of 1us by itself -- setting ->min_delta_ticks to 1 is safe here.
    
    Initialize ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks with these values.
    
    This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the
    clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns
    and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will
    purge the initialization of ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from this
    driver.
