Great thanks, that is better, yes, If I never read SBSA spec, I don't know WS is watchdog signal :-) > > Anyway, not worth arguing about. yes, agree , Thanks for the example "help" :-) > >> >> + >> >> + /* >> >> + * Try to determine the frequency from the arch_timer interface >> >> + */ >> >> + clk = arch_timer_get_rate(); >> > >> > >> > arch_timer_get_rate() does not seem to be exported.

Because other driver maybe need to get system counter info Do you agree ? :-) > > Guenter -- Best regards, Fu Wei Software Engineer Red Hat Software (Beijing) Co.,Ltd.Shanghai Branch Ph: +86 21 61221326(direct) Ph: +86 186 2020 4684 (mobile) Room 1512, Regus One Corporate Avenue,Level 15, One Corporate Avenue,222 Hubin Road,Huangpu District, Shanghai,China 200021 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
