Re: [PATCH v2 2/6] clocksource: msc313e: Add support for ssd20xd-based platforms

Hi Daniel,

What do you think about the following description ?  :  "
    clocksource: msc313e: Add support for ssd20xd-based platforms

    On SSD20X family SoCs bootrom sets the divider for timer0 to run at
    12Mhz, while timer1 and timer2 are kept unchanged and defaut to ~432Mhz.
    There are no ways to reduce or divide these clocks in the clktree.
    However, These SoCs provide an internal "timer_divide" register that can
    act on this input clock. This commit adds support for this register,
    as timer1 and timer2 are used as clockevents these will run at 48Mhz.
