SubjectRe: [PATCHv2 0/3] clocksource: add db8500 PRCMU timer

Even if the value isn't reset during suspend/resume we want the
clocksource to keep counting. Or is it ok to have the clocksource stop
or freeze during suspend?
Then we have cpuidle. Is it ok to stop/freeze the timer during cpuidle
sleep states?
My view is that sched_clock and the clocksource read should return the
time since boot and keep counting during sleep and suspend. (In this
case we use the same timer for both sched_clk and clocksource.)

I agree that fixing it for everyone would be better and I can give it a
try if I get pointed in the right direction.
