The timer maintaining its context (and continuing to count) during non-retentive
CPU suspend is not sufficient to drop CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP.
Another requirement is that the timer interrupt is generated and routed outside
the CPU's power/reset domain, to whatever hardware is responsible for turning
the CPU back on. It does not matter if the timer interrupt fires, if that
interrupt cannot wake up the CPU.
So something closer to "riscv,timer-can-wake-cpu" would be a more accurate
property name for how you are using it.
And even then, that ability is a property of the SBI implementation, not just
the hardware. In the motivating example for the flag (Allwinner D1), the CLINT
cannot wake the CPU from reset, but the SoC contains other MMIO timers that can.
So the capability of the SBI timer extension depends on which timer hardware the
SBI implementation chooses to use. So I am not sure that the property belongs in
the CPU node.
Maybe it makes sense to report this capability via a function in the SBI timer
extension?
