[PATCH] clocksource/drivers/timer-sun4i: Advertise a real minimum delta

[Felix Yan]

sun4i_clkevt_next_event() compensates for the timer stop/start
synchronization delay by programming evt - TIMER_SYNC_TICKS into the
hardware interval register. The clockevent device currently advertises
TIMER_SYNC_TICKS as min_delta_ticks, so the clockevents core is allowed
to call set_next_event() with evt == TIMER_SYNC_TICKS.

That programs a zero-tick interval. With oneshot/highres/nohz timer
operation this can leave the next event stuck, which was observed as a
boot hang on Allwinner D1 after the clockevents core started reusing
forced minimum-delta events.

Advertise one extra tick instead, so the smallest event accepted by the
core still programs at least one hardware tick after the synchronization
compensation.
