Subject: [PATCH 6.19 093/781] clocksource/drivers/timer-sp804: Fix an Oops when read_current_timer is called on ARM32 platforms where the SP804 is not registered as the sched_clock.

6.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Stephen Eta Zhou <stephen.eta.zhou@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 694921a93f3e3621e067afc545cedf6fe3b234a9 ]

On SP804, the delay timer shares the same clkevt instance with
sched_clock. On some platforms, when
sp804_clocksource_and_sched_clock_init is called with use_sched_clock
not set to 1, sched_clkevt is not properly initialized. However,
sp804_register_delay_timer is invoked unconditionally, and
read_current_timer() subsequently calls sp804_read on an uninitialized
sched_clkevt, leading to a kernel Oops when accessing
sched_clkevt->value.

Declare a dedicated clkevt instance exclusively for delay timer,
instead of sharing the same clkevt with sched_clock.  This ensures
that read_current_timer continues to work correctly regardless of
whether SP804 is selected as the sched_clock.
