I think about this several times,
For this block, it is a little unclear, so I think this will be better:
+ /*
+ * Try to determine the frequency:
+ * If we have got it in arch_timer_mem_of_init, we don't need to get
it again, skip.
+ * Otherwise, try to get the frequency from the device tree,
+ * if fail, try to get it from the sysreg CNTFRQ.
+ * Last, verify the arch_timer_rate before leaving this block.
+ */
+ if (!arch_timer_rate) {
+ if (of_property_read_u32(np, "clock-frequency", &arch_timer_rate))
+ arch_timer_rate = arch_timer_get_cntfrq();
+ if (!arch_timer_rate) {
+ pr_err(FW_BUG "frequency not available.\n");
+ return -EINVAL;
+ }
+ }
