I applied the patch now as is, as I suppose you tested it well :)

I don't remember exactly the changes for pcsp driver right now,
but the change of the initial delay was due to the change of start
logic.  At least, at the time HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE was removed, starting
with zero didn't work at all on my machine.  Maybe something got fixed
in the core side.

But, I still don't understand why it has to be zero.  The first
bit-flip is done inside the trigger-start, so the next wakeup should
be after the calculated ns.  Isn't it?


thanks,

Takashi
