When a cpu goes to a deep idle state where its local timer is shutdown, it notifies the time frame work to use the broadcast timer instead.
Unfortunately, the broadcast device could wake up any CPU, including an idle one which is not concerned by the wake up at all.
This implies, in the worst case, an idle CPU will wake up to send an IPI to another idle cpu.
This patch fixes this for ARM platforms using timer-sp, by setting CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ feature.

Hi Russell,
I asked Thomas if he could take this patch in its tree but it falls under your umbrella. Thomas agreed to take it if you ack this patch.
Is this patch acceptable for you ?
It's simple enough.
