We enable GTP6 which ungates the arch timer clock. Apart we write the
frequency with which the timer is running in the CNTFREQ register.
In the future this should be done in the bootloader.

We don't seem to set CNTFRQ below. Does it happen to have a consistent
value on current versions of the bootloader?

Do we know how far in the future that's likely to be?

What's the plan for this code when such a bootloader becomes available?

Thanks,
Mark.

Oh sorry, my fault. In v2 I moved the frequency to the dts, as this
will make the driver write CNTFRQ.
I forgot to update the commit message.

AFAIK no one right now is working on an open source bootloader for the
mediatek devices.
So I think we won't see an open source bootloader in a reasonable time.

I think when a bootloader becomes available, this code should be
removed. I know that this will lead to a not working ARM arch timer in
devices which don't migrate to the new bootloader, but I think it's
not too critical. Apart from the ARM arch timer, the devices have the
mediatek global porpose timer (drivers/clocksource/mtk_timer.c), which
implement a clock source and a clock event timer. So the system won't
hang.

Cheers,
Matthias

The arch timer driver does not write CNTFRQ as this can only be done
from the secure side. It simply uses the value provided internally. This
isn't sufficient for virtualization guests (which need to have CNTFRQ
programmed correctly).

For the moment as we're not booting at Hyp that's not necessarily a big
problem, but it is a shame.

Ok. :(

I fear that's never going to happen, either because such a bootloader
never becomes available or because there will be hold-outs sticking to
the old loader.

If that's not critical, why not for the moment use the global timer?

Thanks,
Mark.
