Subject: [PATCH v4 0/9] Implement clocksource for rockchip SoC using rockchip timer

Hello,

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. Therefore adapt this driver to also
be able to act as clocksource on rk3188.

In order to test clocksource you can run following commands and check
how much time it take in real. On rk3188 it take about ~45 seconds.

        cpufreq-set -f 1.6GHZ
        date; sleep 60; date

rk3288 (and probably anything newer) is irrelevant to this patch,
as it has the arch timer interface. This patch may be usefull
for Cortex-A9/A5 based parts.

Regards,
Alexander.
