Hi Sashiko,
Thanks for the careful review.
This is not a binding inconsistency issue:
- We're describing different hardware usage scenarios (PWM vs clocksource)
- The PWM binding describes what the PWM driver actually needs
- The timer binding describes what the timer driver actually needs
- Both reflect their respective hardware requirements accurately
I don't think the number of items in the resets property of the timer binding
should be updated. Do you think this is acceptable?
Best regards,
Xuyang Dong
