Subject[PATCH v2 3/3] time: clocksource: Add a comment to CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP
Date
When doing timekeeping_resume(), if the nonstop clocksource
wraps back, "cycle_delta" will miss the wrap time.

It's hard to determine the right CLOCKSOURCE_MASK(xxx) or
something to add code for inspecting such behavior, and we
don't have many existent nonstop clocksources, so just add
a comment to indicate that if have this flag set, people
are aware that this nonstop clocksource won't wrap back
during system suspend/resume.
