With the long cycle counter bit (LC) disabled the cycle counter is not
working on ThunderX SOC (ThunderX only implements Aarch64).
Also, according to documentation LC == 0 is deprecated.

To keep the code simple the patch does not introduce 64 bit wide counter
functions. Instead writing the cycle counter always sets the upper
32 bits so overflow interrupts are generated as before.

Original patch from Andrew Pinksi [off-list ref]

What does this mean? Do we need Andrew's S-o-B, or is this a fresh patch?

Hi Will,

Please let me know if I should repost or not, FWIW I got Andrew's S-o-B on the
patch.

Thanks, Jan
