Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: timer: Add Realtek SYSTIMER
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 15:34:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117073408.428190-2-haowen.ting@realtek.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251117073408.428190-1-haowen.ting@realtek.com>
Add device tree binding documentation for the Realtek SYSTIMER, a 64-bit
timer that can be used as a tick broadcast timer on multi-core Realtek
SoCs.
The SYSTIMER remains active during deep CPU idle states where local
timers are powered off, allowing all CPUs to enter power-cut idle states
simultaneously for improved power efficiency. The timer operates at a
fixed 1MHz frequency and supports oneshot mode for tick broadcast
functionality.

+description: |
+ The Realtek SYSTIMER (System Timer) is a 64-bit timer that can be used as
+ a tick broadcast timer on multi-core Realtek SoCs. It remains active during
+ deep CPU idle states where local timers are powered off, allowing all CPUs
+ to enter power-cut idle states simultaneously for better power efficiency.
+
+ The timer operates at a fixed 1MHz frequency and supports oneshot mode
+ for tick broadcast functionality.
+
+ The SYSTIMER hardware for both RTD1625 and RTD1635 SoCs has identical register
+ layout and IRQ configuration. The driver therefore matches both compatibles
+ without special handling.
