arm-global-timer can provide clockevents, clocksource and shed_clock. But on rk3188 platform it provide only clocksource and shed_clock. clockevents from arm-global-timer is not used by kernel because there is another clockevent provider with higher rating (smp-twd). My commit from the series implement clocksource and shed_clock using rockchip_timer. But sched clock from rk_timer is not selected by kernel due to lower frequency than arm-global-timer, and clocksource from rk_timer is not selected by kernel due to lower rating than arm-global-timer. And I don't want to increase clocksource rating because ratings greater 300 used for high frequency clocksources. clocksource and shed_clock is quite unstable, because their rate depends on cpu frequency. So disable arm-global-timer and use clocksource and sched_clock from rockchip_timer.
That commit message is hard to understand in its entirety, but this last paragraph is essentially enough to describe the problem. So maybe you could shorten that somehow. Heiko
