If the system has been started in non-secure mode, then the ARM generic
timer is not configurable during the kernel initialisation. Currently
the only thing we can check for is if the timer has been correctly
configured during the boot process.

Sorry, I've gone and re-posted the same patch as yesterday.

    You said you've fixed the comment style but you haven't as I see.

I also said I reposted the previous patch by accident this morning
and posted the corrected one after it.

    Sorry, I've only read that after sending my comment. I thought that was an 
intended repost with a slightly corrected subject.
