Happy to hear any comments, There was a comment from Jessica about needing a DT node in the kernel. Here is the relevant discussion. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/patch/20211025195350.242914-11-atish.patra@xxxxxxx/ To summarize, this series uses a PMU DT node to do the following things. 1. The PMU driver is DT probe based platform driver. 2. It uses the DT to discover the interrupt number 3. overflow will not be supported if the interrupt is not present in the PMU DT node. Jessica suggested that we should get rid of the DT node in the kernel because 1. The counter overflow interrupt is a fixed local interrupt number (0x13) 2. Overflow support should be enabled based on sscofpmf ISA extension rather than interrupt property in a DT node. We did not have any discussion on the ISA extension discovery process earlier. Thus, I did not add #2 in the current series. Recently, it was briefly discussed and I am working on an implementation based on that discussion. Thus, I can address all the suggestions from Jessica in the next version. I am okay with both approaches. Do you have any preference/suggestions between the two approaches ? > if nobody says anything then I'll just put that on riscv/for-next > whenever I get back to my own email. > You may want to wait a little bit based on how the above discussion folds. > > This series has been tested in Qemu (RV64 & RV32) and HiFive Unmatched. > > Qemu[5] & OpenSBI [3] patches are required to test it on Qemu and a dt patch > > required in U-Boot[6] for HiFive Unmatched.
