[PATCH] clocksource: timer-atmel-pit: don't suspend/resume if unused

[Nicolas Ferre]

From: Sylvain Rochet <sylvain.rochet at finsecur.com>

Waiting for PIT to stop counting takes a long time:
  1/(Master clock/prescaler/PIVR)
= 1/(133 MHz     /16       /2^20)
= 126 ms

Up to 126 ms if master clock is set to 133 MHz, skipping suspend/resume
of the unused PIT device reduce (suspend time + resume time) from ~140 ms
to ~17 ms.

Hi Sylvain,

I re-worked (and "Acked") your patch so it can be applied on the newer Mainline
kernels. Beware, I changed the "subject line" as well. The PIT driver moved
recently (3.18).

Daniel,
Can you take this patch in your tree?

Thanks, bye.
  Nicolas.
