[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] timer: a9gtimer: check auto-increment register value

[P J P]

From: Prasad J Pandit <address@hidden>

ARM A9MP processor has a peripheral timer with an auto-increment
register, which holds an increment step value. A user could set
this value to zero, when auto-increment control bit is enabled.
This leads to an infinite loop in 'a9_gtimer_update' while
updating comparator value. Add check to avoid it.
