[PATCH v9 2/6] clocksource: stm32: increase min delta value

From: Benjamin Gaignard
Date: Fri Dec 08 2017 - 06:34:36 EST


From: Benjamin Gaignard <benjamin.gaignard@xxxxxxxxxx>

The CPU is a CortexM4 @ 200MHZ and the clocks driving
the timers are at 90MHZ with a min delta at 1 you could
have an interrupt each 0.01 ms which is really to much.
By increase it to 0x60 it give more time (around 1 ms)
to CPU to handle the interrupt.
