From d53ef114cf40a043e3cc3fa70dbcdfb268a7e4dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Boyd Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2013 16:59:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: Add memory mapped ARM architected timer binding Add a binding for the arm architected timer hardware's memory mapped interface. The mmio timer hardware is made up of one base frame and a collection of up to 8 timer frames, where each of the 8 timer frames can have either one or two views. A frame typically maps to a privilege level (user/kernel, hypervisor, secure). The first view has full access to the registers within a frame, while the second view can be restricted to particular registers within a frame. Each frame must support a physical timer. It's optional for a frame to support a virtual timer.
