Why do you need it zeroed? You don't clear it between iterations, so
either you don't need this, or you have a bug in the loop.

Huh?

Why doesn't GTDT expose a function to fill in the entire arch_timer_mem
in one go?

There shouldn't be multiple instances, as far as I am aware. Am I
mistaken?

Regardless, arch_timer_mem is small enough that you don't need dynamic
allocaiton. Just put it on the stack, e.g.

static int __init arch_timer_mem_acpi_init(void)
{
	int i = 0;
	struct arch_timer_mem timer_mem;

	while (!gtdt_arch_timer_mem_init(timer_mem, i)) {
		int ret = arch_timer_mem_init();
		if (ret)
			return ret;
		i++
	}

	return 0;
}

Thanks,
Mark.

Yes, that is a good idea, but I need to find a way to get the number of
GT block in GTDT, then allocate a  struct arch_timer_mem array for all GT block

I don't see any doc says : there is only one memory-mapped timer
in a soc.
Maybe we have more than one GT block in GTDT or
(in another word) we may have more than one memory-mapped
timer in a soc, right ??

Please correct me, If I miss something.
