Did you mean:

"There is no reason to tie the system counter timer to CPU0, change its
affinity to cpu_possible_mask.

Moreover, the timer has the flag CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ set, changing to
cpu_possibl_mask will reduce the number of wakeups related to the system
timer"

?

Note you may want to explain why 'there is no reason'
