Subject: clocksource, acpi_pm.c: fix check for monotonicity
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f1926ce63b996b42772b39e4b47bb4ef4ba748b4;p=linux-2.6

clocksource, acpi_pm.c: fix check for monotonicity

Actually check the monotonicity of the ACPI PMTMR ten times, only delay for
0.9 miliseconds at most, and bail out early if some problem is determined.
