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.
Broad-cast device will only open the CPU for which the timer IRQ affined to. And infact with subject series the affinity also is updated for the CPU which owns the last timer expiry event.
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.
