[PATCH 07/10] clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Add dt binding for hisilicon-161010101 erratum

From: Daniel Lezcano
Date: Wed Feb 08 2017 - 19:58:14 EST


From: Ding Tianhong <dingtianhong@xxxxxxxxxx>

This erratum describes a bug in logic outside the core, so MIDR can't be
used to identify its presence, and reading an SoC-specific revision
register from common arch timer code would be awkward. So, describe it
in the device tree.
