[PATCH v9 2/6] clocksource: stm32: increase min delta value

From: Benjamin Gaignard <hidden>
Date: 2017-12-08 11:34:34
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: clocksource, clockevent drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Daniel Lezcano, Thomas Gleixner, Linus Torvalds

From: Benjamin Gaignard <redacted>

The CPU is a CortexM4 @ 200MHZ and the clocks driving
the timers are at 90MHZ with a min delta at 1 you could
have an interrupt each 0.01 ms which is really to much.
By increase it to 0x60 it give more time (around 1 ms)
to CPU to handle the interrupt.
