[PATCH] POWER9 PMU stops after idle workaround

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
Date: 2017-07-20 01:53:52
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

POWER9 DD2 PMU can stop after a state-loss idle in some conditions.

A solution is to set then clear MMCRA[60] after wake from state-loss
idle.
