Devices of the Realtek MIPS Otto platform use the official rtl-otto-timer
as clock event generator and cpu clocksource. It is registered for cpu
startup via cpuhp_setup_state() and forces the affinity of the clockevent
interrupts to the appropriate cpu via irq_force_affinity().

On the "smaller" devices with a vendor specific interrupt controller
(supported by irq-realtek-rtl) the registration works fine. The "larger"
RTL931x series is based on a MIPS interAptiv dual core with a MIPS GIC
controller. Interrupt routing setup is cancelled because gic_set_affinity()
does not accept the current (not yet online) cpu as a target.

Relax the checks by evaluating the force parameter that is provided for
exactly this purpose. With this patch affinity can be set as follows:

- force = false: works like before
- force = true: allow to set affinity to the current not yet online cpu

This logic really makes my brain hurt. Why not doing the obvious:

	if (cpu >= NR_CPUS) {
        	/* Sensible comment */	
        	if (!force)
                	return -EINVAL;
                ...
        }

Hmm?

Thanks

Then what about an even more relaxed and cleaner version like in other
drivers?

If (force)
  cpu = cpumask_first(cpumask);
else
  cpu = cpumask_first_and(cpumask, cpu_online_mask);

Fine with me.
