Do I need to send a v2 patch?
And in fact, clocksource_mmio_readw_down() also has similar issue, but it masks with c->mask before return, the c->mask is less than 32 bit (because the clocksource_mmio_init think number of valid bits > 32 or < 16 is invalid.) the higher 32 bits are masked off, so we never saw such issue. But we'd better to fix that, what's your opinion?
Thank you very much, Jisheng
