[PATCH] clocksource/drivers/riscv: Refuse to probe on T-Head

From: Palmer Dabbelt
Date: Thu Feb 09 2023 - 18:24:49 EST


From: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

As of d9f15a9de44a ("Revert "clocksource/drivers/riscv: Events are
stopped during CPU suspend"") this driver no longer functions correctly
for the T-Head firmware. That shouldn't impact any users, as we've got
a functioning driver that's higher priority, but let's just be safe and
ban it from probing at all.

This feel super ugly to me, but I'm not sure how to do this more
cleanly. I'm not even sure if it's necessary, but I just ran back into
the driver reviewing some other patches so I figured I'd say something.
