PATCH 1/1 ARM: imx: always use TWD on IMX6Q
There is no reason to limit the TWD to be used on SMP kernels only if the hardware has it available.
On Wandboard i.MX6SOLO, running PREEMPT-RT and cyclictest I see as max immediately after start in idle:
UP : ~90us
SMP: ~50us
UP + TWD: ~20us.
Based on this numbers I prefer the TWD over the slightly slower MXC timer.
