Subject[v3] x86/tsc: Unset TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and TSC_RELIABLE flags on Intel Bay Trail SoC
Date
From: Vipul Kumar <vipul_kumar@mentor.com>

commit f3a02ecebed7 ("x86/tsc: Set TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and TSC_RELIABLE
flags on Intel Atom SoCs"), is setting TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and TSC_RELIABLE
flags for Soc's which is causing time drift on Valleyview/Bay trail Soc.

This patch introduces a new macro to skip these flags.

Signed-off-by: Vipul Kumar <vipul_kumar@mentor.com>
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Changes in V2:
- Added linux-stable along with kernel version in CC

Changes in V3:
- Intead of cpuid-level, used macro to skip the flags

Tested-on: SIEMENS-IPC227E board
