Subject: [PATCH 1/1] dt-bindings: reg-io-width for SiFive CLINT

The CLINT in the T-HEAD 9xx processors do not support 64bit mmio access to
the MTIMER device. The current schema does not allow to specify this.

OpenSBI currently uses a property 'clint,has-no-64bit-mmio' to indicate the
restriction. Samuael Holland suggested in
lib: utils/timer: Use standard property to specify 32-bit I/O
https://github.com/smaeul/opensbi/commit/b95e9cf7cf93b0af16fc89204378bc59ff30008e
to use "reg-io-width = <4>;" as the reg-io-width property is generally used
in the devicetree schema for such a condition.

A release candidate of the ACLINT specification is available at
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-aclint/releases

Add reg-io-width as optional property to the SiFive Core Local Interruptor.

But this is not a "sifive,clint" anyway. Should there be a new
dt-bindings for T-Head clint variant?

I assume by new dt-bindings variant you mean: Add a new compatible
string in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/sifive,clint.yaml.

The vendor Debian image uses:
compatible = "{allwinner,sun20i-d1-clint", "sifive,clint0"};

I assume Bin means to stop calling it a sifive,clint0 and instead have
something like

"allwinner,sun20i-d1-clint", "thead,clint0"

as is being done for their non-conforming PLIC. It’s worth pointing out
that the same is true here; the SiFive CLINT supports 64-bit accesses
on RV64, so this is not compatible with a SiFive CLINT. Moreover, the
RISC-V spec was clearly written in a way that intended 64-bit accesses
to be supported for RV64, though was not completely explicit about
that, which has now been resolved (see
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-manual/issues/639), so this CLINT
violates the obvious intent of the pre-1.12 privileged specs (see
Andrew’s message in the issue, which agrees with my reading).

Yep, that's what I wanted to see. Sorry for not being clear. The
T-Head CLINT is definitely not compatible with "sifive,clint0".

I think we can move has_64bit_mmio to fdt_match->data.This way we no
longer rely on 'clint, has-no-64bit-mmio' or 'reg-io-width'
