Subject: [PATCH v7 1/7] clocksource/drivers/clksrc-evt-probe: Describe with the DT both the clocksource and the clockevent
Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2017 18:48:28 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1490197714-25415-2-git-send-email-al.kochet@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1490197714-25415-1-git-send-email-al.kochet@gmail.com>

From: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org>

The CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE() was introduced before the
CLOCKEVENT_OF_DECLARE() and that resulted in some abuse where the
clockevent and the clocksource are both initialized in the same init
routine.

With the introduction of the CLOCKEVENT_OF_DECLARE(), the driver can
now split the clocksource and the clockevent init code. However, the
device tree may specify a single node, so the same node will be passed
to the clockevent/clocksource's init function, with the same base
address.

with this patch it is possible to specify an attribute to the timer's node to
specify if it is a clocksource or a clockevent and define two timers node.

For example:

        timer: timer@98400000 {
                compatible = "moxa,moxart-timer";
                reg = <0x98400000 0x42>;
                interrupts = <19 1>;
                clocks = <&coreclk>;
                clockevent;
        };

        timer: timer@98400010 {
                compatible = "moxa,moxart-timer";
                reg = <0x98400010 0x42>;
                clocks = <&coreclk>;
                clocksource;
        };

With this approach, we allow a mechanism to clearly define a clocksource or a
clockevent without aerobatics we can find around in some drivers:
	timer-sp804.c, arc-timer.c, dw_apb_timer_of.c, mps2-timer.c,
	renesas-ostm.c, time-efm32.c, time-lpc32xx.c.

+Specifying timer information for devices
+========================================
+
+The timer can be declared via the macro:
+
+CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE(name, init) if it is a clocksource
+CLOCKEVENT_OF_DECLARE(name, init) if it is a clockevent
+
+The CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE() was introduced before the
+CLOCKEVENT_OF_DECLARE() and that resulted in some abuse where the
+clockevent and the clocksource are both initialized in the same init
+routine.
+
+With the introduction of the CLOCKEVENT_OF_DECLARE(), the driver can
+now split the clocksource and the clockevent init code. However, the
+device tree may specify a single node, so the same node will be passed
+to the clockevent/clocksource's init function, with the same base
+address. It is possible to specify an attribute to the timer's node to
+specify if it is a clocksource or a clockevent and define two timers
+node.
+
+Example:
+
+	timer: timer@98400000 {
+		compatible = "moxa,moxart-timer";
+		reg = <0x98400000 0x42>;
+		interrupts = <19 1>;
+		clocks = <&coreclk>;
+		clockevent;
+	};
+
+	timer: timer@98400010 {
+		compatible = "moxa,moxart-timer";
+		reg = <0x98400010 0x42>;
+		clocks = <&coreclk>;
+		clocksource;
+	};
