[PATCH v2] dt-bindings: timer: arm,arch_timer: Allow dual compatible string

From: Jean-Philippe Brucker
Date: Thu Sep 22 2022 - 12:16:12 EST


Since the Armv7 and Armv8 architected timers are compatible, it is valid
to expose a devicetree node with compatible string "arm,armv8-timer"
followed by "arm,armv7-timer". For example a 32-bit guest running on a
64-bit machine may look for the v7 string even though the hardware is v8.
VMMs such as QEMU and kvmtool have been using this compatible string for
some time. Clean up the compatible list a little and add the dual
option.
