From: Shruthi Sanil <shruthi.sanil@intel.com>

The timer block supports 1 64-bit free running counter
and 8 32-bit general purpose timers.

Patch 1 holds the device tree binding documentation.
Patch 2 holds the device driver.

This driver is tested on the Keem Bay evaluation module board.

Changes since v3:
- Update in KConfig file to support COMPILE_TEST for Keem Bay timer.
- Update in device tree bindings to remove status field.
- Update in device tree bindings to remove 64-bit address space for
  the child nodes by using non-empty ranges.

Changes since v2:
- Add multi timer support.
- Update in the device tree binding to support multi timers.
- Code optimization.

Changes since v1:
- Add support for KEEMBAY_TIMER to get selected through Kconfig.platforms.
- Add CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ as part of clockevent feature.
- Avoid overlapping reg regions across 2 device nodes.
- Simplify 2 device nodes as 1 because both are from same IP block.
- Adapt the driver code according to the new simplified devicetree.

Add Device Tree bindings for the Timer IP, which can be used as
clocksource and clockevent device in the Intel Keem Bay SoC.

clockevent and clocksource are Linuxisms. Don't use them in bindings.

I don't think all the child nodes are necessary. Are the counters and 
timers configurable (say on another SoC)? If not, then a single node 
here would suffice.

The unit address here is wrong. Should be 'e8'.

If you may notice the children may have different properties that can't be
known ahead, such as IRQ line. On some platforms it may be this mapping, on
another it maybe different.

With all respect for the simplification I think we can't do it here.

What I noticed is it's all the same clock and 1 interrupt for each
timer can be just a single 'interrupts' property with 8 entries.

Is there a platform that's different or that's a hypothetical? Because
hypothetically, every aspect of every IP could change. But we don't
try to parameterize everything in DT. It's a judgement call between
implying things from compatible and explicit DT properties.

> With all respect for the simplification I think we can't do it here.

You can. Any data in DT could be in the kernel. It's a question of
balance, not can or can't.

This may work.

Not only, it's also matters of what exactly hardware is: 8 timers or timer with
8 channels. If it's the former one, I prefer to have DT exactly like originally
suggested, otherwise I will agree on your proposal.

Yes Andy, its correct, we have 8 timers in the hardware which are independent.
Also the timer framework provides option to parse all the device tree details. In this case we would pass the timer node to the framework and get the base, IRQ and clock. If we go for a single node approach then all these need to be handled in the driver, hence making it complicated.

Hi Rob,
Yes, the counter and timers are configurable on another SoC. Do you give a nod on the current design?
Shall I proceed with submitting the next version addressing the other 2 comments of yours regarding the description and the unit address update?
