In armada-370-xp.dtsi add a 25MHz ref clock node and modify timer node
to reference it:
cpus { ... };
clocks {
ref25M: timer-clock {
compatible = "fixed-clock";
clock-frequency = <25000000>;
};
}
...
internal-regs {
timer at 20300 {
compatible = "marvell,armada-370-xp-timer";
reg = <0x20300 0x30>, <0x21040 0x30>;
interrupts = <37>, <38>, <39>, <40>, <5>, <6>;
clocks = <&coreclk 2>, <&ref25M>;
clock-names = "fabric", "fixed";
};
};
Then use of_clk_get_by_name(np, "fabric") and of_clk_get_by_name(np,
"fixed") respectively. Clock select strategy should be, (a) fail if
no clock, (b) use fabric/fixed if just one clock, (c) use fixed if
both clocks.
Does that answer your questions? :)
