arm64: arch_timer: Add device tree binding for A-008585 erratum
This erratum describes a bug in logic outside the core, so MIDR can't be used to identify its presence, and reading an SoC-specific revision register from common arch timer code would be awkward. So, describe it in the device tree. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <oss@buserror.net> Acked-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
