Ok, so I have been looking at this some more today. I believe that the
actual bug is that we are not checking to see if "loses_context" is true
before populating "get_context_loss_count" (see omap dmtimer driver).
For bank0 loses_context is false and so we should never be calling
"get_context_loss_count" in the first place.

I will send out a patch to fix this and will copy Kevin and Franky.

Franky, if you can test and confirm it works that would be great.

Kevin, if you can review that would be great too.

Cheers
Jon
