Hello,

While looking for another issue, I tried Linux 4.11-rc1 on a SAMA5D2 Xplained
board. The boot log contains the following warning:

[    0.100012] sched_clock: 32 bits at 10MHz, resolution 96ns, wraps
every 206986376143ns

This is related to the following commit:
7b9f1d16e6d1 clocksource/drivers/tcb_clksrc: Use 32 bit tcb as sched_clock

When we call sched_clock_register from tcb_clksrc_init from
arch_initcall, we are too late as sched expects all the candidates for
its clock to be registered before interrupts are enabled. This warning
does not prevent the tcb clock from being used.
