Dennis is right. I am trying to provide the armv7 local timer support.
Why would we need such? And how is the term "local" defined here? Local to what?
Well, actually the local timer was used in the spear13xx support which is to be added later on. The global timer was not used and hence the driver was not needed (at least by us). but I agree that such a driver would be useful for a lot of people using armv7 cores and CPU timers
Please explain why? We do have timer support on armv7, right?
Why are you adding something new, then? If you are tring to replace existing code with some better implementation, I would expect to see code being removed, too?
The global timer support, even if it is added, would be added as a separate driver so this is infact complete in its own
Please understand that completeness has never been any goal for U-Boot, on contrary.
