The is already timer entry for rk3228 in the DT. And it act as clockevent. I guess it work as backup,
but I cannot test it also. In order to not break DT compatibility I had to provide one timer to be
initialized as clockevent. And implemented implicit rule the driver (first DT timer - clockevent,
second DT timer - clocksource) already exists for other timers.

Yes, you right here. I’ve temporary disable smp_twd to test rockchip timer interrupts.
There is no interrupt on the rockchip timer during normal work.

ARM chip/revision specific?

There is timer for rk3228 in the DT. I guess there are situations where it can be used.
May be the situations are also acceptable for rk3188? May be something like suspend to RAM or
suspend to HDD? I am not expert in that questions. I can do some tests if you give hint/link.

So, as I understood you suggest to leave only one timer what can be used as clocksource
only. I can implement that, but there should be DT rule what allow to setup timer
as clocksource only. I cannot do more without timer framework support.
Looks, like I have to wait your patch to implement that.

Alexander.
