 Description
 -----------
-The Nvidia tegra194 HTE provider driver implements two GTE
-(Generic Timestamping Engine) instances: 1) GPIO GTE and 2) LIC
-(Legacy Interrupt Controller) IRQ GTE. Both GTE instances get the
-timestamp from the system counter TSC which has 31.25MHz clock rate, and the
-driver converts clock tick rate to nanoseconds before storing it as timestamp
-value.

 GPIO GTE
 --------
 
 This GTE instance timestamps GPIO in real time. For that to happen GPIO

-supports timestamping GPIOs in real time and it has 39 GPIO lines. The GPIO GTE
-and AON GPIO controller are tightly coupled as it requires very specific bits
-to be set in GPIO config register before GPIO GTE can be used, for that GPIOLIB
-adds two optional APIs as below. The GPIO GTE code supports both kernel
-and userspace consumers. The kernel space consumers can directly talk to HTE
-subsystem while userspace consumers timestamp requests go through GPIOLIB CDEV
-framework to HTE subsystem.
