Subject: [PATCH RESEND] clocksource: move NXP timer selection to drivers/clocksource
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 08:45:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512-fix-nxp-timer-v1-1-565e13ef3e46@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Enric Balletbo i Serra <eballetb@redhat.com>
The Kconfig logic for selecting the scheduler clocksource on
NXP Vybrid (VF610) uses a `choice` block restricted to 32-bit ARM. This
prevents 64-bit architectures, such as the NXP S32 family, from enabling
the NXP Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT) driver (CONFIG_NXP_PIT_TIMER).
Relocate the NXP clocksource selection from arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig to
drivers/clocksource/Kconfig. This allows the configuration to be shared
across different architectures.
Update the selection to include support for ARCH_S32 and add a "None"
option to allow using the standard ARM Architected Timer. The Vybrid
Global Timer option is now specifically restricted to 32-bit ARM SOC_VF610
platforms.
Fixes: bee33f22d7c3 ("clocksource/drivers/nxp-pit: Add NXP Automotive s32g2 / s32g3 support")
