linux-toradex.git/arch/mips/include/asm/hpet.h, branch v4.4.69 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules MIPS: Loongson-3: Add RS780/SBX00 HPET support 2014-11-24T06:45:02+00:00 Huacai Chen chenhc@lemote.com 2014-11-04T06:15:31+00:00 e292ccde216e571faad475e4331c188f22a28182 CPUFreq driver need external timer, so add hpet at first. In Loongson 3, only Core-0 can receive external interrupt. As a result, timekeeping cannot absolutely use HPET timer. We use a hybrid solution: Core-0 use HPET as its clock event device, but other cores still use MIPS; clock source is global and doesn't need interrupt, so use HPET.
