[PATCH v5 0/2] riscv: Use GCR.U timer device as clocksource
Posted by Aleksa Paunovic via B4 Relay 2 months, 3 weeks ago
This series adds bindings for the GCR.U timer device and corresponding
driver support. Accessing the memory mapped mtime register in the GCR.U
region should be faster than trapping to M mode each time the timer
needs to be read.

Changes in v5:
- Fixed build issues on 32-bit RISC-V and sparse warnings
- Remove clint_time_val and clint.h, replace with riscv_time_val
- Depend on RISCV_TIMER in Kconfig
Changes in v4:
- Remove "select" from mti,gcru.yaml.
- Refactor the driver to use function pointers instead of static keys.
