From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@linaro.org>

The counter frequency detection call(arch_timer_detect_rate) combines two
ways to get counter frequency: system coprocessor register and MMIO timer.
But in a specific timer init code, we only need one way to try:
getting frequency from MMIO timer register will be needed only when we
init MMIO timer; getting frequency from system coprocessor register will
be needed only when we init arch timer.

This patch separates paths to determine frequency:
Separate out the MMIO frequency and the sysreg frequency detection call,
and use the appropriate one for the counter.

Typo? I think it's "&" here.

Thanks

Not a typo, It's definitely a “&&”  :-)

Here arch_timer_rate is not zero.

If rate is not zero(that means we got a valid rate), and
arch_timer_rate != rate ,
we will print warning message.

Ah, misreading the code, thanks for clarify :)

When I mentioned this splitting before, I had mean that we'd completely
separate the two, with separate mmio_rate and sysreg_rate variables.

The probing logic relying on this is complicated and fragile, and I
think these patches are complicating that further (though I appreciate
that's far from the intent).

I believe we need to split the MMIO and sysreg timer code apart
entirely. I've had a look at that today, though it's been fairly painful
so far. It appears some platforms may inadvertently be relying on the
order and manner in which the rates are probed, which is a major
headache.

I will try to attack that some more tomorrow.

This function should be killed off entirely. We need to be able to fail
the probe if we cannot determine the rate, and that means we need error
handling in the ACPI and DT cases anyway.

Thanks,
Mark.
