Thank you Linus for the quick review.
I was actually planning a cleanup patch which handles is_aspeed/count_down stuff. Basically we have 2 options:
??? 1) adding "is_aspeed" flag. "count_down" is kept because potentially faraday-fttmr could also be configured as count_down timer (although I don't see any reason to do so).
??? 2) renaming "count_down" to "is_aspeed". By doing this, we set restriction that faraday-fttmr will always be upward.
What's your thought? Do you want me to include all the changes in this diff?

Make sense. Let me add more comments.

Thanks,
