[PATCH v2 01/10] dt-bindings: ptp: Document the TSCSS on Qualcomm SA8775P and QCS8300 SoCs
From: Imran Shaik
Date: Sun Nov 08 2026 - 08:20:15 EST
Add Devicetree bindings for the Timestamp Counter Subsystem (TSCSS) found
on Qualcomm SA8775P and QCS8300 SoCs.
TSCSS is a time synchronization subsystem composed of two main blocks:
Timestamp Counter (TSC) and Event Timestamp Unit (ETU). The TSC block
provides a continuously running counter used for timekeeping, while the
ETU captures timestamps for external hardware event triggers.

+description: |
+ Qualcomm TSCSS is a time synchronization subsystem composed of two main
+ blocks - the Timestamp Counter (TSC) and the Event Timestamp Unit (ETU).
+
+ The TSC block is a timestamp generator that maintains a running counter used
+ for system timekeeping, and is functional with just the AHB and counter
+ clocks.
+ The ETU block captures TSC timestamps for external hardware events. Each
+ ETU slice binds a slice number to an external event selector, and a
+ single summary interrupt is raised for any ETU slice event.
