Hi Conor and Emil,

I found some information that I hope will be useful to you.
What Emil said is right:
osc (24MHz) -> rtc_toggle (div N) -> mtime

I found the N is depend on this clock register in drivers/clk/starfive/clk-starfive-jh7110-sys.c:

 83         JH71X0__DIV(JH7110_SYSCLK_RTC_TOGGLE, "rtc_toggle", 6, JH7110_SYSCLK_OSC),

and the description of the register is that the divider defaults to and is fixed to 6. So the timebase-frequency is 4MHz on the JH7110.

Best regards,
Xingyu Wu
