Posted by Hao-Wen Ting 5 days, 17 hours ago
Changes v5:
PATCH 1/2
- Drop redundant description markers in binding documentation.
- Add "Reviewed-by" tag

PATCH 2/2
- Add "Acked-by" tag
---

Changes v4:
PATCH 1/2
- Adjust compatible property description to match actual DTS and validate
  it with dt_binding_check.
- Refine binding documentation descriptions.

PATCH 2/2
- Reorder variable declarations.
- Remove debug prints.
- Eliminate unnecessary line breaks.
- Switch to set_next_event() callback instead of set_next_ktime().
- Remove operations that caused build error.
- Rename the struct `timer_of` instance variable for clarity.
- Tabularize struct initializers.
- Refine descriptions.
---

Changes v3:
PATCH 1/2
- Rename binding documentation to match compatible string.
- Drop redundant "binding" from commit subject.
- Add example node and description for realtek,rtd1635-systimer.

PATCH 2/2
- Add Kconfig dependency: ARCH_REALTEK || COMPILE_TEST.
---

Changes v2:
PATCH 1/2
- Add full name 'system timer' to description.
- Remove redundant commit messages.
- Clarify compatible strings for specific verified SoCs.
- Remove redundant reg and interrupts description sentences.
- Use generic node name in example.

PATCH 2/2
- Correct MAINTAINERS to alphabetical order.
- Update Kconfig: switch dependency to ARM/ARM64.
- Remove redundant pr_info output.
---

This patch series adds support for the Realtek System Timer, a 64-bit counter
that serves as a clock event device on Realtek SoCs.

Technical details:
- Implements a 64-bit timer operating at 1MHz fixed frequency.
- Supports oneshot mode and tick broadcast functionality.
- Remains active during CPU power-down states.

Testing:
- Functionality verified for tick broadcast on both RTD1625 and RTD1635 SoCs.
- Confirmed binding documentation passes yamllint, dt_binding_check, and dtbs_check.
- Driver successfully built under COMPILE_TEST.

Patch organization:
Patch 1/2: Device Tree binding documentation
Patch 2/2: Clocksource driver implementation

Best regards,
Hao-Wen Ting
