12description: |+
13  ARM cores may have a per-core architected timer, which provides per-cpu timers,
14  or a memory mapped architected timer, which provides up to 8 frames with a
15  physical and optional virtual timer per frame.
16
17  The per-core architected timer is attached to a GIC to deliver its
18  per-processor interrupts via PPIs. The memory mapped timer is attached to a GIC
19  to deliver its interrupts via SPIs.

60  clock-frequency:
61    description: The frequency of the main counter, in Hz. Should be present
62      only where necessary to work around broken firmware which does not configure
63      CNTFRQ on all CPUs to a uniform correct value. Use of this property is
64      strongly discouraged; fix your firmware unless absolutely impossible.
65
66  always-on:
67    type: boolean
68    description: If present, the timer is powered through an always-on power
69      domain, therefore it never loses context.
70
71  allwinner,erratum-unknown1:
72    type: boolean
73    description: Indicates the presence of an erratum found in Allwinner SoCs,
74      where reading certain values from the counter is unreliable. This also
75      affects writes to the tval register, due to the implicit counter read.
76
77  fsl,erratum-a008585:
78    type: boolean
79    description: Indicates the presence of QorIQ erratum A-008585, which says
80      that reading the counter is unreliable unless the same value is returned
81      by back-to-back reads. This also affects writes to the tval register, due
82      to the implicit counter read.
83
84  hisilicon,erratum-161010101:
85    type: boolean
86    description: Indicates the presence of Hisilicon erratum 161010101, which
87      says that reading the counters is unreliable in some cases, and reads may
88      return a value 32 beyond the correct value. This also affects writes to
89      the tval registers, due to the implicit counter read.
90
91  arm,cpu-registers-not-fw-configured:
92    type: boolean
93    description: Firmware does not initialize any of the generic timer CPU
94      registers, which contain their architecturally-defined reset values. Only
95      supported for 32-bit systems which follow the ARMv7 architected reset
96      values.
97
98  arm,no-tick-in-suspend:
99    type: boolean
100    description: The main counter does not tick when the system is in
101      low-power system suspend on some SoCs. This behavior does not match the
102      Architecture Reference Manual's specification that the system counter "must
103      be implemented in an always-on power domain."
