Why we have -ETIME check here is because we have encountered a system
hang issue before when doing GPU stress test and finally proved to
be a timer event missing issue.

Yes, TPM seems have a similar issue as vt8550 as you pointed out in above URL.

I've done some further debug and showed that the counter register write
may sometimes take tens of cycles to complete, although mostly are
only 1~3 cycles.

The sample code is as follows:
static int tpm_set_next_event(unsigned long delta,
                                struct clock_event_device *evt)
{
        unsigned long next, now, ret;

        now = __raw_readl(timer_base + TPM_CNT);
        next = now + delta;
        __raw_writel(next, timer_base + TPM_C0V);
        now = __raw_readl(timer_base + TPM_CNT);

        ret = next - now;
        
        if (ret > delta)
                printk("%s: overflow ret %d delta %lu\n", __func__, (int)ret, delta);

        return 0;
}

Below log is observed in some rare time:
tpm_set_next_event: overflow ret -38 delta 3

I guess it might be related to the SoC bus and fabric design where TPM
module is connected, but still not sure.
Will double check it with our IP owner later.

That's why we have -ETIME check.

BTW, since the MX7ULP A7 core is not fast (about 500Mhz) and i
observed hundreds of microsecond CPU execution delay from the upper
__hrtimer_start_range_ns to underlying expire checking in
clockevents_program_event() when system is a bit busy, probably we
should change the min_delta to a bigger value to reduce the event
reprogram. e.g. 300.

Last one question is in which situation we should add ETIME check?
I saw different users in kernel with either ETIME check or no ETIME
check, both are many.

I looked at Russel's detailed explaination in above URL,
it looks to me like users should specify a sufficient min_delta
to avoid -ETIME issue, is that right?

But we don't sure about that value as it varies when system running.
That's why i would keep both ETIME check and increase min_delta to 300.

May i know your suggestion?
