On some hardware, the timer deasserts the interrupt when a

Hence explicitly disable the timer and then program the
TVAL followed by enabling the timer.
If this order is not followed, there are chances that
you would not receive any timer interrupts.
It's a little unclear to me who you intend to take this patch. In the
To field, you've listed Marc, the MSM maintainers, as well as Russell.
The MSM tree doesn't really make sense, since this is general ARM
code. Marc would make sense if you depend on an active patch series
he is working on, so he could include it.

I'm guessing you meant it for Russell, though, and the rest of us as
CCs.

Yes, thanks for pointing that out. Sorry if the headers were confusing, I will be more mindful of this next time.

Thanks,
David
