ARM virtual counter supports event stream, it can only trigger an event
when the trigger bit (the value of CNTKCTL_EL1.EVNTI) of CNTVCT_EL0 changes,
so the actual period of event stream is 2^(cntkctl_evnti + 1). For example,
when the trigger bit is 0, then virtual counter trigger an event for every
two cycles.

Fixes: 037f637767a8 ("drivers: clocksource: add support for ARM architected timer event stream")

Hi Marc,

are you fine with this patch ?

Hi Daniel,

I am, although there still isn't any justification for the pos/lsb
rework in the commit message (and calling that variable lsb is somewhat
confusing). If you are going to apply it, please consider adding
the additional comment below.

"While we're at it, rework the way we compute the trigger bit position 
by
  making it more obvious that when bits [n:n-1] are both set (with n 
being
  the most significant bit), we pick bit (n + 1)."

With that:

Thanks,

Ok, I will do that.

Thanks for the additional comment
