From 411a373ed6426fb1bff253905b6a59ada44e18ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2018 10:13:01 +0000 Subject: ArmPkg/TimerDxe: remove workaround for KVM timer handling When we first ported EDK2 to KVM/arm, we implemented a workaround for the quirky timer handling on the KVM side. This has been fixed in Linux commit f120cd6533d2 ("KVM: arm/arm64: timer: Allow the timer to control the active state") dated 23 June 2014, which was incorporated into Linux release 4.3. So almost 4 years later, it should be safe to drop this workaround on the EDK2 side. This reverts commit b1a633434ddc.
