"timer" is a generic node name. "timers" is not. How > many is not relevant. It's not the amount of timers that there are, it's the different types of timers which this one IP contains. In MFD we usually list the part number or IP name, however in this case its difficult because the same IP doesn't have a specific name listed, and provides; advanced, general purpose and basic timers, as well as PWM functionality. This IP is not a timer (although one of its children is one). It's the parent device of many different types of timer. timer { timer { }; pwm { }; }; ... looks weird. "timer" is not right for the parent IP. Happy for you to provide an alternative to "timers" though? > > The 's' is intentional, since this parent (MFD) device houses 3 > > different types of timers. The "timer" node is a child of this one. -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
