ARM: 8947/1: Fix __arch_get_hw_counter() access to CNTVCT
__arch_get_hw_counter() should check clock_mode to see if it can access CNTVCT. With the conversion to unified vDSO this check has been left out. This causes on imx v6 and v7 (imx_v6_v7_defconfig) and other platforms to hang at boot during the execution of the init process as per below: [ 19.976852] Run /sbin/init as init process [ 20.044931] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000004 Fix the problem verifying that clock_mode is set coherently before accessing CNTVCT.
