For my personnal information, why no broadcast timer is needed ?
Are the CPUs on always-on power down ?

Actually the idea is to have the SUPERH to select this timer, not create
a dependency on SUPERH from here.
We don't want to prompt in the configuration menu the drivers because it
would be impossible to anyone to know which timer comes with which
hardware, so we let the platform to select the timer it needs.
The exception is to enable in order to compile on non-native platform to
compile-test a bunch of drivers (eg. compile most of the clocksource /
clockevents drivers on a x86 big server).
That's why we should have:
config CLKSRC_JCORE_PIT
bool "J-Core PIT timer driver" if COMPILE_TEST
So the jcore pit driver option appears only if compile test is enabled
otherwise it is a silent option and the user doesn't have to deal with
it. Having consistent dependency like the other drivers will help future
changes to consolidate the Kconfig.

It is not '__iomem void *' but 'void __iomem *'. This appears multiple
times in this code.

This field is pointless, 'cpu' is only used for a trace in the init
function which has already the cpu has parameter.

Why mention AIC1 if there is not test to check if AIC1 || AIC2 ?
Will be the same information available if the irqchip is AIC1 ?
I have to admin I find strange this driver has to invoke irq_get_irq_data(),
it is the only one and it sounds even strange it has to be stored per cpu below.
