Tony, can you confirm I understood you correctly ?

With status = "disabled" kernel completely ignores the device and struct device is not created at all even with the device being there. In general we're better off trying to probe the device and idle it. The only time we really want to mark something with status = "disabled" is if some coprocessor firmware is using that device and the kernel should not touch it at all.

Not always, since some of the PM clocking logic depends on the state machine variables within the kernel. We are also using this to deal with paper-spins (atleast in the DRA7 case) and the DTS include model, wherein certain instances may not be present on all variations of the SoC, and enabled specifically on the instances that matter. Obviously, it could be done the other way too, but as far as what Nishanth mentioned sometime back, we are following the former for DRA7. In anycase, the status property on the Timer12 node can be removed, it doesn't fall into the above category, and we are fixing it up properly on HS devices in the kernel. regards Suman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Yeah please remove the status property, that can be set to disabled in the HS board specific file. Applying the first two patches into omap-for-v4.5/soc thanks.

Add the DT node for Timer12 present on DRA7 family of SoCs. Timer12 is present in PD_WKUPAON power domain, and has the same capabilities as the other timers, except for the fact that it serves as a secure timer on HS devices and is clocked only from the secure 32K clock. The node is marked disabled for now, and the kernel should refrain from using this secure timer on HS devices.
