[PATCH v3 2/3] clocksource/vt8500: Remove the 'loops' variable

From: Roman Volkov <hidden>
Date: 2016-01-01 13:30:44
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: clocksource, clockevent drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Daniel Lezcano, Thomas Gleixner, Linus Torvalds

From: Roman Volkov <redacted>

The purpose of the 'loops' variable is unclear. vt8500 hardware does not
require any protections, in case if these variables intended for preventing
infinite loops (identical PXA timer works perfectly without these ones).
