Currently, we get a timer register address by: add the constant register
offset to the timer base address. e.g. "base + TIMER_CTRL". It can not be
dynamically adjusted at run time.
So create a new structure "sp804_timer" to record the original registers
offset, and create a new structure "sp804_clkevt" to record the
calculated registers address. So the "base + TIMER_CTRL" is changed to
"clkevt->ctrl", this will faster than "base + timer->ctrl".
For example:
struct sp804_timer arm_sp804_timer = {
.ctrl = TIMER_CTRL,
};
struct sp804_clkevt clkevt;
clkevt.ctrl = base + arm_sp804_timer.ctrl.

The K210 doesn't implement rdtime in M-mode, and since that's where Linux runs
in the NOMMU systems that means we can't use rdtime. The K210 is the only
system that anyone is currently running NOMMU or M-mode on, so here we're just
inlining the timer read directly.
This also adds the CLINT driver as an !MMU dependency, as it's currently the

Commit 6cfcd5563b ("clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Fix suspend and
resume for am3 and am4") exposed a new issue for type2 dual mode timers
on at least omap5 where the clockevent will stop when the SoC starts
entering idle states during the boot.
Turns out we are wrongly first enabling the system timer and then
resetting it, while we must also re-enable it after reset. The current
sequence leaves the timer module in a partially initialized state. This
issue went unnoticed earlier with ti-sysc driver reconfiguring the timer
module until we fixed the issue of ti-sysc reconfiguring system timers.
Let's fix the issue by calling dmtimer_systimer_enable() from reset for
both type1 and type2 timers, and switch the order of reset and enable in
dmtimer_systimer_setup(). Let's also move dmtimer_systimer_enable() and
dmtimer_systimer_disable() to do this without adding forward declarations.

Right now the RISC-V timer driver is convoluted to support:
1. Linux RISC-V S-mode (with MMU) where it will use TIME CSR for
clocksource and SBI timer calls for clockevent device.
2. Linux RISC-V M-mode (without MMU) where it will use CLINT MMIO
counter register for clocksource and CLINT MMIO compare register
for clockevent device.
We now have a separate CLINT timer driver which also provide CLINT
based IPI operations so let's remove CLINT MMIO related code from
arch/riscv directory and RISC-V timer driver.

Carlos Hernandez <ceh@ti.com> reported that we now have a suspend and
resume regresssion on am3 and am4 compared to the earlier kernels. While
suspend and resume works with v5.8-rc3, we now get errors with rtcwake:
pm33xx pm33xx: PM: Could not transition all powerdomains to target state
...
rtcwake: write error
This is because we now fail to idle the system timer clocks that the
idle code checks and the error gets propagated to the rtcwake.
Turns out there are several issues that need to be fixed:
1. Ignore no-idle and no-reset configured timers for the ti-sysc
interconnect target driver as otherwise it will keep the system timer
clocks enabled
2. Toggle the system timer functional clock for suspend for am3 and am4
(but not for clocksource on am3)
3. Only reconfigure type1 timers in dmtimer_systimer_disable()
4. Use of_machine_is_compatible() instead of of_device_is_compatible()
for checking the SoC type

Currently clocksource framework doesn't support the clocks with variable
frequency. Since MIPS GIC timer ticks rate might be unstable on some
platforms, we must make sure that it justifies the clocksource
requirements. MIPS GIC timer is incremented with the CPU cluster reference
clocks rate. So in case if CPU frequency changes, the MIPS GIC tick rate
changes synchronously. Due to this the clocksource subsystem can't rely on
the timer to measure system clocks anymore. This commit marks the MIPS GIC
based clocksource as unstable if reference clock (normally it's a CPU
reference clocks) rate changes. The clocksource will execute a watchdog
thread, which lowers the MIPS GIC timer rating to zero and fallbacks to a
new stable one.
Note we don't need to set the CLOCK_SOURCE_MUST_VERIFY flag to the MIPS
GIC clocksource since normally the timer is stable. The only reason why
it gets unstable is due to the ref clock rate change, which event we
detect here in the driver by means of the clocks event notifier.

The MIPS GIC timer is well suited for use as sched_clock, so register it
as such.
Whilst the existing gic_read_count() function matches the prototype
needed by sched_clock_register() already, we split it into 2 functions
in order to remove the need to evaluate the mips_cm_is64 condition
within each call since sched_clock should be as fast as possible.
Note the sched clock framework needs the clock source being stable in
order to rely on it. So we register the MIPS GIC timer as schedule clocks
only if it's, if either the system doesn't have CPU-frequency enabled or
the CPU frequency is changed by means of the CPC core clock divider
available on the platforms with CM3 or newer.

Commit 1002148899 ("clocksource: dw_apb_timer_of: use
clocksource_of_init") replaced a publicly available driver
initialization method with one called by the timer_probe() method
available after CLKSRC_OF. In current implementation it traverses
all the timers available in the system and calls their initialization
methods if corresponding devices were either in dtb or in acpi. But
if before the commit any number of available timers would be installed
as clockevent and clocksource devices, after that there would be at most
two. The rest are just ignored since default case branch doesn't do
anything. I don't see a reason of such behaviour, neither the commit
message explains it. Moreover this might be wrong if on some platforms
these timers might be used for different purpose, as virtually CPU-local
clockevent timers and as an independent broadcast timer. So in order
to keep the compatibility with the platforms where the order of the
timers detection has some meaning, lets add the secondly discovered
timer to be of clocksource/sched_clock type, while the very first and
the others would provide the clockevents service.

Currently the DW APB Timer driver binds each clockevent timers to a
particular CPU. This isn't good for multiple reasons. First of all seeing
the device is placed on APB bus (which makes it accessible from any CPU
core), accessible over MMIO and having the DYNIRQ flag set we can be sure
that manually binding the timer to any CPU just isn't correct. By doing
so we just set an extra limitation on device usage. This also doesn't
reflect the device actual capability, since by setting the IRQ affinity
we can make it virtually local to any CPU. Secondly imagine if you had a
real CPU-local timer with the same rating and the same CPU-affinity.
In this case if DW APB timer was registered first, then due to the
clockevent framework tick-timer selection procedure we'll end up with the
real CPU-local timer being left unselected for clock-events tracking. But
on most of the platforms (MIPS/ARM/etc) such timers are normally embedded
into the CPU core and are accessible with much better performance then
devices placed on APB. For instance in MIPS architectures there is
r4k-timer, which is CPU-local, assigned with the same rating, and normally
its clockevent device is registered after the platform-specific one.
So in order to fix all of these issues let's make the DW APB Timer CPU
affinity being optional and deactivated by passing a negative CPU id,
which will effectively set the DW APB clockevent timer cpumask to
'cpu_possible_mask'.
