Re: [dpdk-dev] event/octeontx: add event timer adapter driver

Hi Ali,

Looks like a compiler bug rather than code issue, I have verified this on x86
with gcc 4.8.5 and don't see an issue.

Looking around I found that compiling with -O1 on aarch64 gcc 4.8.5 seems to
fix the compiler bug.

Thanks,
Pavan.
