I understand your point, but right now I don't anticipate that we will
have many options here and so I think that we should drop these.

Thanks.

Ok, thanks.

Yes, but it still seems a little odd that we could have ...

 if (use_gptimer_clksrc) {
 	omap2_gp_clocksource_init((clksrc_nr), clksrc_src);
 	return;
 }
 omap2_gp_clocksource_init((clksrc_nr), clksrc_src);

Hmmm ... well for OMAP devices the 32kHz clock is mandatory AFAIK. At
least for OMAP devices and I would need to check on the AM33xx but I
would imagine they are the same. Which devices are you referring to
where the 32kHz is optional?

Ok, again let me know which device(s) this applies too.

My whole thought here was that the 32kHz is always present. If that is
not the case then I would agree this would not work.

Well we really want to simplify this code and so I was thinking that if
a device has a 32k-sync timer AND there is a 32kHz source, then what's
the point in having an option to use a gptimer with a 32kHz source for
that device? I guess I don't see the benefit there, at least for OMAP2-5
devices specifically.
