Device Tree and instantiation using clocksource_of_init to samsung-time
clocksource driver.

+* Samsung PWM timer
+
+Samsung SoCs contain PWM timer blocks which can be used for system clock source
+and clock event timers.
+
+Be aware that this configuration is supported only on uniprocessor platforms.
+For SMP SoCs, SMP-aware timers should be used, like MCT.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be one of following:
+    samsung,s3c24xx-pwm-timer - for 16-bit timers present on S3C24xx
+    samsung,s3c64xx-pwm-timer - for 32-bit timers present on S3C64xx and newer
+- reg: base address and size of register area
+- interrupts: interrupt list for all five PWM timers.
+- samsung,source-timer: index of timer to be used as clocksource
+- samsung,event-timer: index of timer to be used as clock event
+
+Optional properties:
+- samsung,prescale: PWM prescaler divisor (from 1 to 256)
+- samsung,divisor: PWM main divider divisor (1, 2, 4, 8 or 16)
+
+Example:
+	timer@7f006000 {
+		compatible = "samsung,s3c64xx-pwm-timer";
+		reg = <0x7f006000 0x1000>;
+		interrupt-parent = <&vic0>;
+		interrupts = <23>, <24>, <25>, <27>, <28>;
+		samsung,source-timer = <4>;
+		samsung,event-timer = <3>;
+		samsung,prescale = <2>;
+		samsung,divisor = <1>;
+	};

Is this a set of combined interrupts, or one per timer?

Which order are they in?

Assuming they're one per timer, in order, how about something like:

"- interrupts: one interrupt per timer, starting at timer 0".

> +- samsung,source-timer: index of timer to be used as clocksource
> +- samsung,event-timer: index of timer to be used as clock event

Is there any reason this needs to be specified in the dt?

Can the driver not just select two arbitrary timers from the hardware?

It might be better to have this named "samsung,prescale-divisor" to make it
clear to the average reader that its a divisor value rather than a
multiplier value.

You map 4K here, but the binding didn't mention that 4K is always the expected
size of the reg.

This check doesn't tell you if you actually had an irq in the dt for the timer
at that index.

Do you really need to panic here? Can you not just warn?

What if a future platform has another timer driver that can at least get the
board to boot?

I have the same problems here as with the source-timer block above.

Similarly here and every other place that panics: I think warning might be a
better bet.

Maybe it's just me, but I find this somewhat difficult to read.

How about something like:

switch (val) {
case 1:
case 2:
case 4:
case 8:
case 16:
	timer_variant.divisor = timer_variant.prescale * val;
	break;
default:
	warn("no divisor specified");
};

Thanks,
Mark.

It is one per timer, however the node represents a single PWM timer block 
that contains several timers (usually 5).

Sounds fine to me. I will modify the description in next version.

Yes. On some SoCs selected channels of PWM block can be used as PWM 
outputs and so thsoe cannot be used for system timers. This property makes 
it possible to specify channels used as system timers on particular 
platform (board).

> Can the driver not just select two arbitrary timers from the hardware?

In most cases I could statically choose channel 3 and 4 as it was done 
before my patches on S3C24xx and S3C64xx. I can make those channels 
default if others are not specified in properties.

This is a compatibility mapping for legacy (non-DT) platforms that will be 
removed once all platforms get moved to DT.

Hmm, this line is probably a bit confusing. I will add a define with 
maximum number of channels and use it here. This is only a check whether 
the index given is not out of range.

It's rather unlikely that new platforms using samsung-time will show up. 
This clocksource is used only for non-SMP platforms based on S3C and S5P 
SoCs, where it is the only possible supported clocksource.

It looks better indeed. I will change this part in next version.

Great.

That would be nice, it would mean we could have some less verbose dts :)

Sounds reasonable.

Ok.

Ok.

Great.
