Re: [Freedreno] [PATCH 5/6] drm/msm/a6xx: Use GMU_ALWAYS_ON_COUNTER for GMU-equipped GPUs in timestamp

[Jonathan Marek <jonathan@marek.ca>]

AFAIK GMU_ALWAYS_ON_COUNTER does not have the same value as 
CP_ALWAYS_ON_COUNTER (only the same frequency), so changing this would 
break userspace expecting to be able to compare the value returned by 
MSM_PARAM_TIMESTAMP with CP timestamp values.
