Zang,

Probably you can help me,

I am trying to introduce standard DT propertied for sclk adjustment,
meant for ILCR and IWCR register.
The datasheet I have has some confusion in terms of usage of load
counters and wait counters.

Can you please help me understand on below queries -

  1. Any additional calculation (any offset or something) I need to add
     for calculating counter values from time in nsec/usec?

  2. Counters just counts the input clock (of either 26MHz or 69MHz)?

  3. Are all counters to respective modes mutual exclusive? I mean, if I
     set fast mode, any dependency on other counters? I see IWCR.COUNT
     is common for both standard and fast mode, what about high speed
     mode?

  4. IWCR.COUNT field is meant for tHD.DATA ???

Thanks,
Vaibhav
