Hi Fu Wei,
in my previous comment, I was suggesting to remove the first arch_timer_rate
check.
The code assumes something else initialized this variable. There is clearly a
conflict in the variable assignment. So if a node is defined twice for this
variable, then it is more sane to consider the second pass overwrites the first
one. As the DT are specifying the same rate, for -mem and !-mem, then it should
have not an impact (to be verified).
