When trying to use CMT for clockevents on R-Car gen3 SoCs, I noticed that 'max_delta_ns' for the broadcast timer (CMT) was shown as 1000 in /proc/timer_list. It turned out that when calculating it, the driver did 1 << 32 (causing what I think was undefined behavior) resulting in a zero delta, later clamped to 1000 by cev_delta2ns(). The root cause turned out to be that the driver abused *unsigned long* for the CMT register values (which are 16/32-bit), so that the calculation of 'ch->max_match_value' in sh_cmt_setup_channel() used the wrong branch. Using more proper 'u32' instead fixed 'max_delta_ns' and even fixed the switching an active clocksource to CMT (which caused the system to turn non-interactive before).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
