Add support for the Tegra210 timer that runs at oscillator clock
(TMR10-TMR13). We need these timers to work as clock event device and to
replace the ARMv8 architected timer due to it can't survive across the
power cycle of the CPU core or CPUPORESET signal. So it can't be a wake-up
source when CPU suspends in power down state.

Also convert the original driver to use timer-of API.

What about T132? Isn't it ARM64 which uses tegra20-timer IP? At least T132 DT suggests so and seems this change will break it.

Ah, noticed the "depends on ARM" in Kconfig.. Seems okay then.



This is a good point, because even though we had 'depends on ARM', this
still means that the Tegra132 DT is incorrect.

Joseph, can you take a quick look at Tegra132?

Hi Jon and Dmitry,

No worry about T132, T132 uses arch timer (v7). The tegra20 timer driver has never been used. We should fix the dtsi file later.

Hi Joseph,

So is T132 HW actually incompatible with the tegra20-timer? If it's compatible, then I think the driver's code should be made more universal to support T132.


From HW point of view, the TIMER1 ~ TIMER4 is compatible with "nvidia,tegra20-timer". But Tegra132 actually has 10 timers which are exactly the same as Tegra30. So it should backward compatible with "nvidia,tegra30-timer", which is tegra_wdt driver now. And Tegra132 should never use this driver.

Then shouldn't device tree look like this? Why TMR7-TMR0 are not defined there?
Yeah, they need to revisit and fix.

timer@60005000 {
compatible = "nvidia,tegra124-timer", "nvidia,tegra30-timer", "nvidia,tegra20-timer";
reg = <0x0 0x60005000 0x0 0x400>;
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 0 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
<GIC_SPI 1 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
<GIC_SPI 41 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
<GIC_SPI 42 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
<GIC_SPI 121 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
<GIC_SPI 152 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
<GIC_SPI 153 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
<GIC_SPI 154 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
<GIC_SPI 155 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
<GIC_SPI 156 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
clocks = <&tegra_car TEGRA124_CLK_TIMER>;
clock-names = "timer";
};

TMR 0,6,7,8,9 should define a shared interrupt as well, but seems the shared interrupt provider is not supported in upstream.

Also note that seems T124/132 device tree has a typo (I'm looking at TK1 TRM), TMR6 IRQ is 152 and not 122.

And T30 device tree looks incorrect, TRM says that TMR1-TMR5 have a "dedicated interrupt bit", but not TMR6.

Yeah, noticed that as well. Because the wdt driver doesn't need IRQ support and they (Tegra114/124/132) use arch timer. So everything just works fine.

Thanks,
Joseph
