[PATCH v8 0/3] riscv: Use GCR.U timer device as clocksource

[PATCH v8 0/3] riscv: Use GCR.U timer device as clocksource

[Aleksa Paunovic via B4 Relay]

This series adds bindings for the GCR.U timer device and corresponding
driver support. Accessing the memory mapped shadow of the mtime register
in the GCR.U region should be faster
than trapping to M mode each time the timer needs to be read.
The timer device does not implement any interrupts, therefore the
timer-riscv clockevent implementation should suffice.

We tested the patchset both on QEMU and the Boston board with the P8700 bitfile:
- v7, v8 testing:
  - Coremark and timer kselftests on QEMU emulating an 8 core CPU
  - Coremark and timer kselftests on the Boston board with a single core CPU.

[PATCH v8 3/3] riscv: clocksource: Add p8700-gcru driver

[Aleksa Paunovic via B4 Relay]

From: Aleksa Paunovic <aleksa.paunovic@htecgroup.com>

Add a clocksource driver for the P8700 GCRU.

Initialization uses helper functions
provided by clocksource/mmio.c and timer-of.c.

Since the GCRU does not support any kind of interrupts,
the default RISC-V clockevent implementation should suffice.

- [Low] Mismatch between the node's unit-address and the first address in its 'reg' property in the device tree example.

commit 28ad318962744fd052dc7a14265d2214d613bc60
Author: Aleksa Paunovic <aleksa.paunovic@htecgroup.com>

dt-bindings: timer: mips,p8700-gcru

Add dt-bindings for the GCR.U memory mapped timer device for RISC-V
platforms. The GCR.U memory region contains shadow copies of the RISC-V
mtime register and the hrtime Global Configuration Register.

[Severity: Low]
Does the unit-address in the node name (1617f000) need to exactly match the 
first address specified in the reg property (1617f050)? This mismatch will 
likely trigger a unit_address_vs_reg warning during dt_binding_check.
