[PATCH 1/3] clocksource/drivers/timer-mediatek: Fix random crash at boot

[Luca Leonardo Scorcia]

MediaTek bootloaders generally enable APXGPT timers at boot. This means
that a timer IRQ can sometimes happen between the IRQ line request and the
configuration of the clock event handler. This leads to a hard crash with
an instruction abort, branch to pc 0x0 in mtk_gpt_interrupt handler as
clkevt is null.

To avoid this issue request the IRQ with IRQF_NO_AUTOEN and enable it
explicitly after the clock event is configured.

Issue was reported and fix tested on the Lenovo Tab E7 (TB-7104F, mt8167).
