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.

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