In order to add device-tree support to the timer driver the following changes
were made ...
1. Allocate system timers (used for clock-events and clock-source) based upon
timer properties rather than using an hard-coded timer instance ID. To allow
this a new helper function called omap_dmtimer_find_by_property() has been
added for finding a timer with the particular properties in the device-tree
blob. Please note that this is an internal helper function for system timers
only to find a timer in the device-tree blob. This cannot be used by device
drivers, another API has been added for that (see below). Timers that are
allocated for system timers are dynamically disabled at boot time by adding
a status property with the value "disabled" to the timer's device-tree node.
Please note that when allocating system timers we now pass a timer ID and
timer property. The timer ID is only be used for allocating a timer when
booting without device-tree. Once device-tree migration is complete, all
the timer ID references will be removed.
2. System timer resources (memory and interrupts) are directly obtained from
the device-tree timer node when booting with device-tree, so that system
timers are no longer reliant upon the OMAP HWMOD framework to provide these
resources.
3. If DT blob is present, then let device-tree create the timer devices
dynamically.
4. When device-tree is present the "id" field in the platform_device structure
(pdev->id) is initialised to -1 and hence cannot be used to identify a timer
instance. Due to this the following changes were made ...
a). The API omap_dm_timer_request_specific() is not supported when using
device-tree, because it uses the device ID to request a specific timer.
This function will return an error if called when device-tree is present.
Users of this API should use omap_dm_timer_request_by_cap() instead.
b). When removing the DMTIMER driver, the timer "id" was used to identify the
timer instance. The remove function has been modified to use the device
name instead of the "id".
5. When device-tree is present the platform_data structure will be NULL and so
check for this.
6. The OMAP timer device tree binding has the following optional parameters ...
a). ti,timer-alwon --> Timer is in an always-on power domain
b). ti,timer-dsp --> Timer can generate an interrupt to the on-chip DSP
c). ti,timer-pwm --> Timer can generate a PWM output
d). ti,timer-secure --> Timer is reserved on a secure OMAP device
Search for the above parameters and set the appropriate timer attribute
flags.
