From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@linaro.org>


The patch refactor original arch_timer_detect_rate function:
    (1) Separate out device-tree code, keep them in device-tree init
    function:
        arch_timer_of_init,
        arch_timer_mem_init;
    (2) Improve original mechanism, if getting from memory-mapped timer
    fail, try arch_timer_get_cntfrq() again.

Sorry, will do

Since this patch will be separated into two patches.
the first patch will be separating out device-tree code, so commit
message can be:
-----------------
clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Separate out device-tree code from
arch_timer_detect_rate

Currently, the arch_timer_detect_rate can get system counter frequency
from device-tree, sysreg timers and MMIO timers. This is unnecessary and
confusing. For ACPI, we don't need a function included device-tree code.

This patch factors the device-tree related code out into device-tree
init function:
arch_timer_of_init and arch_timer_mem_init.
-----------------

the second patch will be split arch_timer_detect_rate in two, one is
for the MMIO timer,
another is for the CP15 timers, so commit message can be:
-----------------
clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer:split arch_timer_detect_rate for
the MMIO and CP15 timers

The arch_timer_detect_rate can get system counter frequency sysreg timers and
MMIO timers. This is unnecessary. For initializing sysreg timers, we
shouldn't try to
access MMIO timers.

This patch split arch_timer_detect_rate into two function:
arch_timer_detect_rate and arch_timer_mem_detect_rate.
-----------------

Please correct me if these commit message are inappropriate.
Great thanks

you are right, I should split this founction for the MMIO and CP15 timers

yes, we are sharing arch_timer_rate across MMIO and sysreg timers,
But for booting with device-tree, we can't make sure which timer will
be initialized first,
so we may need :
       if (arch_timer_rate)
               return;

Sorry, maybe I misunderstand the ARM doc, but in I3.5.7
CNTFRQ, Counter-timer Frequency, it says:
-----------------
For the CNTBaseN and CNTEL0BaseN frames:
• A RO copy of CNTFRQ is implemented in the CNTBaseN frame when both:
  — CNTACR<n>.RFRQ is 1.
  — Bit[0] of CNTTIDR.Frame<n> is 1.
  Otherwise the encoding in CNTBaseN is RES 0.
• When CNTFRQ is RO in the CNTBaseN frame, it is also RO in the
CNTEL0BaseN frame
  if bit[2] of CNTTIDR.Frame<n> is 1 and either:
  — The value of CNTEL0ACR.EL0VCTEN is 1.
  — The value of CNTEL0ACR.EL0PCTEN is 1.
  Otherwise the CNTFRQ encoding in CNTEL0BaseN frame is RES 0.
In a system that implements both Secure and Non-secure states, this
register is only accessible by
Secure accesses.
-----------------

So I think this is for both  CNTBaseN and CNTEL0BaseN frames?
Please correct me.

When I tested my patchset on Foundation model, I got "0" from
CNTBaseN's CNTFRQ, so mybe is not implemented?

OK, will do
