I wanted to investigate a bit on this one because of the patch [2] you are mentioning. I think there is small missing piece of devicetree binding to specify 'clocksource' or 'clockevent'. Rob Herring is ok with an attribute of this kind. That would help to clearly separate these drivers without ambiguity. However, it results on some duplicated code I'm not very happy with, so that is my major issue with this approach I would like to solve. That is the status today. I wanted to take the opportunity of your changes to investigate this area. >> 31 янв. 2017 г., в 15:43, Alexander Kochetkov написал(а): >> >> From: Alexander Kochetkov >> >> Hello, Daniel, Heiko. >> >> Here is try 6 :) Thanks a lot for helping me to bring the code >> into kernel! >> >> This patch series contain: >> - devicetree bindings clarification for rockchip timers >> - dts files fixes for rk3228-evb, rk3229-evb and rk3188 >> - implementation of clocksource and sched clock for rockchip SoC >> >> The clock supplying the arm-global-timer on the rk3188 is coming from the >> the cpu clock itself and thus changes its rate everytime cpufreq adjusts >> the cpu frequency making this timer unsuitable as a stable clocksource. >> >> The rk3188, rk3288 and following socs share a separate timer block already >> handled by the rockchip-timer driver.
