[PATCH v1 11/11] ARM: sunxi: add B288 and the PocketBook Verse board

Pablo Mazzini pmazzini at gmail.com
Wed Sep 23 13:17:01 PDT 2026 

arm,cpu-registers-not-fw-configured is required: Allwinner's boot0 sets
neither CNTFRQ nor CNTVOFF, so the virtual timer storms. Same reason as
commit 121b96cd9d7e ("ARM: sun6i: Enable ARM arch timers").

The watchdog interrupt was measured on hardware via GICD_ISPENDR.
