linux-toradex.git/drivers/clocksource/dw_apb_timer.c, branch v3.1.1 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules clocksource: apb: Share APB timer code with other platforms 2011-06-27T22:16:21+00:00 Jamie Iles jamie@jamieiles.com 2011-06-06T11:43:07+00:00 06c3df49521c1b112b777cc4946e5de057c814ba The APB timers are an IP block from Synopsys (DesignWare APB timers) and are also found in other systems including ARM SoC's. This patch adds functions for creating clock_event_devices and clocksources from APB timers but does not do the resource allocation. This is handled in a higher layer to allow the timers to be created from multiple methods such as platform_devices. Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H.
