An ACK from Thomas Gleixner is necessary for that.

I will CC Thomas in the change log in next version
with both patch 16/17.

Why are you not initializing the memory mapped timer ?

This is getting a mess. cntbase tells you it is a memory mapped timer,
node pointer that you are probing through DT, and to top it all
acpi_disabled detects if you are probing in ACPI or DT mode.

I think this function should be simplified, this driver is also
pending a refactoring to split arch timer and the memory mapped one
so I think you'd better wait that work to make things simpler.

acpi_disabled used again here, I repeat myself this is going to be
hard to track. You should try to organize the code something like:

if (acpi_disabled)
	timer_dt_probe();
else
	timer_acpi_probe();

mixing the code paths is getting unwieldy, see above to see my
reasoning.

That's not nice, it is a generic header, arch specific stuff should be
avoided. I think you should have an ACPI generic layer similar to
clocksource_of_init(), and probe from there when matching the respective
timers.

We left it for later work because no need for that to boot
available ARM64 hardware at now, and we have no hardware to
test unless I missed some of platforms.

Olof is unhappy with such approach, I think if (acpi_disabled) is
self-contained because we only get DT or ACPI in the system, we
can call this function time_init() without more if (acpi_disabled).

I think I'm OK with it, but do we really need to introduce a heavy
framework to init just arm arch timer (memory mapped or not) ?
