[PATCH v2 0/4] Add support for the Cortex A5 global timer

[PATCH v2 0/4] Add support for the Cortex A5 global timer

[Matthew Leach]

This patch series adds support for the global timer with the Cortex
A5. This is relatively simple patch series and mainly consists of:

 - Update a check in the drive probe code for an unusable global timer
   to be non-specific to the A9.
 - Add the appropriate device tree node and Kconfig options.
 - Add a compatible node for the specific A5 global timer in the DT
   binding.

Changes since v1
================
- Retain information in the DT binding documentation that the driver
  will only work on a A9 r0p2 and above.

Any comments welcome.

[PATCH v2 1/4] clocksource: arm_global_timer: Only check for unusable timer on A9

[Matthew Leach]

The check for a usable global timer in the probe code does not enquire
which CPU we are currently running on. This can cause the driver to
incorrectly assume we have an unusable global timer if we are running
on a CPU other than A9.

Before checking the CPU revision, ensure we are running on an A9 CPU.

[PATCH v2 2/4] documentaion: DT: allow a A5 compatible string in global timer

[Matthew Leach]

The global timer is present on the Cortex A5. Add a compatibility
string to the DT binding to allow a Cortex A5 global timer.
