[PATCH v4 2/3] dt-bindings: timer: Add bindings for the RISC-V timer device
Posted by Anup Patel 2 years, 9 months ago
We add DT bindings for a separate RISC-V timer DT node which can
be used to describe implementation specific behaviour (such as
timer interrupt not triggered during non-retentive suspend).

I don't want to derail getting this merged, but if you do end up sending
another version, could you please spell out the word "cannot" here and
in the code? The missing apostrophe makes this jarring (and an entirely
different word).

And in that case I would also suggest clarifying this as "one or more
suspend/idle states", since the limitation does not apply to all idle
states. At least it should never apply to the architectural WFI state;
for the SBI idle state binding, it only applies to those with the
"local-timer-stop" property.

The CLINT and PLIC bindings also include the M-mode interrupts. Should
we do the same here?

Okay, I will update.

The RISC-V timer uses SBI time extension or RISC-V Sstc extension hence
it is only for S-mode software. In other words, the RISC-V timer is a S-mode
only timer.

The M-mode software is supposed to have its own platform specific MMIO
based timer.
