I don't see a xlnx,axi-timer-2.0 compatible string defined in the
kernel. There's an xlnx,xps-timer-1.00.a used in Microblaze and PowerPC,
but it might not be related.

Typically a driver would call request_resource(), which marks the given
resource (i.e. memory-mapped I/O region) as in-use, before mapping it.
However, the Microblaze code doesn't do that. Instead it uses of_iomap()
which maps the region without requesting it.

However, request_resource() isn't a complete solution to this problem
either because it works on a first-come, first-serve basis. That is, if
you've requested the region in the Microblaze timer code, then the PWM
driver won't be able to claim it, and vice versa. So this gives you a
simple solution to prevent the PWM driver from messing with the timer
code.

However, you wouldn't be able to configure the two blocks in your
example differently. The reason is that both will be claimed by the same
driver (timer code or PWM driver). At least in general terms. In this
particular case, the Microblaze timer code only initializes one instance
and leaves the second alone. So in fact simply claiming the region via a
call to request_resource() should be enough to make this work for your
particular use-case. The PWM driver would still try to bind to both
devices, but it will fail during devm_ioremap_resource() for the first
instance because the timer code would've claimed the region. The
downside is that you'd get an error in the boot log because the driver
probe failed.

As for ARCH_ZYNQ the problem can likely be ignored because it doesn't
use the Microblaze timer code. So you could simply enable the driver and
have it claim whatever devices match. For the sake of completeness I
should say that this only works (reliably) if you have a single driver
claiming to be compatible with a given string. Only a single driver can
bind to a given device (inherently, even before trying to request the
I/O region).

I think (a) is certainly the cleaner approach because it lets you select
the mode via DT. However, it's probably best to get DT maintainers'
opinion on this. Cc'ing them. Quoting in full for context.

As you point out, using a completely different compatible string is the
easiest way to side-step the problem. However, it's also "wrong" in that
you're still dealing with the same hardware, and consequently should be
identified by the same compatible string.

One possible option I can think of would be to define a somewhat generic
compatible string to identify the block as a whole and require a second
compatible string to specify what mode to use the block in.

Another alternative would be to mark the node as PWM controller with an
additional property (e.g. pwm-controller) and use that as the selector
for the mode. The timer code would have to be modified to abort if it
encounters a node marked with this property, and similarily the PWM
driver would abort if the property is absent.

Anyway, let's see what the device tree maintainers think about it.
