Some msm targets have timers whose lower bits are unreliable. So, we
present our timers as lower frequency than they actually are, and ignore
the bottom 5 bits on such targets. This compensation was erroneously
removed from the msm_read_timer_count function, so restore it.

This was broken by 94790ec25 "msm: timer: SMP timer support for msm".

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
for how to do this properly.

I don't think this patch was intended for stable in the first place.
Jeff, this is a fix for 3.0-rcx, right?

Then why was it sent to stable at kernel.org?

confused,
