Yes, the Exynos MCT(Multi-Core Timer) is 64bit timer and it is available
on 64bit exynos SoC such as exynos7. But basically ARMv8 architecture is
including ARM ARCH timer (ARM Generic Timer) and exynos7 also has
implemented it and additionally its access is faster than using memory
mapped register called SFR for MCT...so Doug submitted patch to use MCT
on 32bit exynos SoCs before.
I know using MCT on 64bit exynos is usefulness for Power Management and
I need to talk to relevant guys in office again. If anything, I'll let
you know.
Thanks,
Kukjin
