[PATCH] ARM: architected timers: allow dt based discovery using clocksource_of_init

[Thomas Abraham]

Add an entry in __clksrc_of_table so that ARMv7 architected timer is
discoverable using call to clocksource_of_init.

Hi Thomas,

This looks really useful, and it's going to conflict with my arch_timer /
arm_generic driver unification series [1].

I'm happy to take this as part of my series if that's ok with you?

I wonder if we shouldn't enhance include/linux/clocksource.h to define
CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE even when !CONFIG_CLKSRC_OF; that way, drivers
wouldn't need that ifdef.

Sure, that's fine. This patch would probably be needed in 3.9 on
Exynos platforms. So you could squash this change into your series.

Indeed. That would be a lot nicer.

Yes, it will be helpful to have a !CONFIG_CLKSRC_OF version of
CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE. And can CONFIG_CLKSRC_OF be enabled by default
for all ARM platforms?

Thanks,
Thomas.

Thomas,

Once the above is worked out, could you send me the updated patch with a
pointer to whichever {branch,patch}(es) I need for CLKSRC_OF?

Is there any news on this? I'd like to be able to push out a branch ready for
merging soon.

I've also realised that platforms using of_clocksource_init won't get the
architected timer registered as a sched_clock, which would seem like a loss.
I'm not sure what the relative requirements are for sched_clock and
clocksource, so there may be some platforms that want it and some that don't.

I see for exynos5440 the architected timer is regsitered as a
clock{source,_event_device}, but not as a sched_clock, and omap5 is similar,
but may register dmtimer_read_sched_clock first.

We can probably leave it out for now, but it's something we'll need to consider
in future.

Thanks,
Mark.
