We usually use silent options and let the platform's Kconfig enable it.
 We show up the option only when COMPILE_TEST is enabled.

 Is there a reason to do it differently?


 Do you mean

 bool "Clocksource/timer using the SYSOST in Ingenic X SoCs"

 or

 default MACH_INGENIC ?

Both, no default here.

eg.

bool "Clocksource/timer using the SYSOST in Ingenic X SoCs" if COMPILE_TEST

and

in arch/mips/Kconfig in the config MACH_INGENIC section :

...
select INGENIC_SYSOST
...

Disagreed. That's not how we do things on MIPS. Selecting MACH_INGENIC means "this kernel will support Ingenic SoCs", but not that it will only support these. Hence the depends on MIPS / default MACH_INGENIC.

As for the select INGENIC_SYSOST, this driver only applies to a few SoCs, I certainly don't want it to be force-enabled. I don't even wait it to be force-enabled on X1000, since it is optional there too.

Cheers,

 This driver has some origins from "INGENIC_TIMER" driver and
 "INGENIC_OST" driver.
 Early Ingenic processors used TCU (timer/counter unit, has 6 or 8
generic timer channels) to provide clocksource and clockevent (both with
 only 16bit precision). This part of the processor can only use
 "INGENIC_TIMER" driver.

 Later processors provide an independent 32bit or 64bit timer channel
(still under TCU, known as ost channel, this channel can not generate
 interrupt) to provid higher precision clocksource. The "INGENIC_OST"
 driver is for this channel. These processors can use "INGENIC_TIMER"
 driver, but using "INGENIC_OST" driver to provide higher precision
 clocksource would be a better choice (clockevent still needs to be
provided by generic timer channel of TCU, and still 16bit precision).

And the recent processors provide a SYSOST components, it is independent from TCU, including a 64bit timer channel for clocksource and a 32bit
 timer channel for clockevent. Although these processors can also use
"INGENIC_TIMER" driver, but the better choice is completely independent use of "INGENIC_SYSOST" driver to provide higher precision clocksource
 and clockevent.

Ok, the rating should do the job then.

Thanks for the explanation.

You may have already noticed that this independent SYSOST component is
 like an upgraded and streamlined TCU, which only retains one generic
 timer channel that can generate interrupts, upgrade it from 16bit to
 32bit, and then retain the 64bit ost channel. so the driver code and
 Kconfig code of this patch is largely referenced
 "INGENIC_TIMER" driver and "INGENIC_OST" driver.

 Thanks and best regards!
