+Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: BCM63XX: sync mips counter during cpu bringup
+
+We are using the mips counters as the clock source, so we need to ensure
+they are synced, else e.g. gettimeofday will return different values
+depending on which core it was run.
+
+Observed difference was about 8 seconds, causing ~8 seconds ping or time
+running backwards for some programs.
