Someone must have read the device tree specification incorrectly,
because we were putting timebase-frequency in the wrong place. This
corrects the issue, moving it from
/ {
cpus {
timebase-frequency = X;
}
}
to
/ {
cpus {
cpu@0 {
timebase-frequency = X;
}
}
}
This is great, because the timer's frequency should really be a per-cpu
quantity on RISC-V systems since there's a timer per CPU. This should
lead to some cleanups in our timer driver.
I think I was actually wrong here: the top version is preferred if
timebase-frequency is the same between all CPUs, while the bottom is if it's
different.
Updating the documentation is still good, because it matches the hardware, but
the commit message should be a bit less assertive... :)
