[PATCH] ARM: 2760/1: Add a warning on dynamic tick timekeeping on some platforms
Patch from Tony Lindgren This patch was suggested by RMK, and adds a warning on the accuracy of timekeeping when using dynamic tick on some platforms. Depending on the timer implementation, dynamic tick may affect the accuracy of timekeeping. Currently at least OMAP is known to have accurate timekeeping with dynamic tick.

Alternatively, if you want dynamic tick automatically enabled
during boot, pass "dyntick=enable" via the kernel command string.
