Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] ARM64: arch_timer: Work around QorIQ Erratum A-008585

For not memory mapped timer, it will call arch_timer_reg_write_cp15() which has
isb() at the end of arch_timer_reg_write_cp15()...

So there is isb() between counter retry read, I think it's likely cval_new will
not be equal with cval_old when the cntvct is correct (time lapse is more than
one arch timer cycle).

+		timeout--;

+
+	WARN_ON_ONCE(!timeout);

Then trigger the warning here, correct me if I miss something else.

Thanks
