Re: [RFC PATCH 02/10] clockevents/drivers: add MPS2 Timer driver

[Vladimir Murzin]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for you review, I agree on all concerns raised and address them
in the next version. Just some points to confirm below (I left only
relevant parts).

Sort of defensive programming, I never seen it happens, but just in case
of spurious interrupts... Do you prefer to get rid of this check or

    /* spurious interrupt? */
    if (!status)
        return IRQ_NONE;

would be fine to you?

Does following (stolen from efm32) look better to you?

static void __init mps2_timer_init(struct device_node *np)
{
	static int has_clocksource, has_clockevent;
	int ret;

	if (!has_clocksource) {
		ret = mps2_clocksource_init(np);
		if (!ret) {
			has_clocksource = 1;
			return;
		}
	}

	if (!has_clockevent) {
		ret = mps2_clockevent_init(np);
		if (!ret) {
			has_clockevent = 1;
			return;
		}
	}
}

Thanks
Vladimir
