[PATCH 1/6] dt-bindings: timer: add Tegra210 timer

[PATCH 1/6] dt-bindings: timer: add Tegra210 timer

[Joseph Lo]

The Tegra210 timer provides fourteen 29-bit timer counters and one 32-bit
timestamp counter. The TMRs run at either a fixed 1 MHz clock rate derived
from the oscillator clock (TMR0-TMR9) or directly at the oscillator clock
(TMR10-TMR13). Each TMR can be programmed to generate one-shot periodic,
or watchdog interrupts.

Why do we only add the interrupts for TMR10 - TMR13? What about the others?

Hi Jon,

Thanks for reviewing.

The others (TMR0-TMR9) are occupied for other usages. TMR5 is occupied 
for the watchdog timer in the upstream kernel. And others (still in 
TMR0-TMR9) are occupied for different usages in our downstream kernel.

And notice that only TMR10-TMR13 are running at the oscillator clock 
(clk_m). With the Tegra210 timer driver, we introduce in this series, 
which only replace the clock event device function that was originally 
owned by the arch timer (armv8 timer) and it also running at the 
oscillator clock. The sched_timer still owns by the arch timer. So the 
timer resolution will be the same. That's why we choose TMR10-TMR13 as 
the timer for Tegra210.

Thanks,
Joseph

Where is TMR5 reserved for the watchdog? I don't see this?

That maybe fine, but DT should describe the hardware and so I don't see
why we would not list all the interrupts. We can still only use TMR10-13
in the driver.

I see it now, it is hard-coded in the driver. I was looking at arm64 to
see where it is used.

Okay, will list all the interrupts for each timer channel.
