Hmm good point. We still need to specify which timer is a clocksource
and which one a clockevent somehow.
Maybe we could have a generic properties like the clock framework such as:
assigned-system-clocksource
assigned-system-clockevent
Or do we already have something similar that can be used?

Hmm that's a good comment indeed. If we can just use readl/writel for
clockevent and clocksource driver without worrying about the posted mode
flags, we can make all the old helpers static for the generic dmtimer
driver. I'll take a look.

Oops thanks for spotting it. Without that the mode can be whatever left
over from the bootloader.

Yes that's a good point too. We need to configure the source clock anyways
for the clocksource and clockevent in devicetree anyways, so setting it
disabled there totally makes sense.

That is just something we should show in dmesg for info as that helps to
understand the board specific system timer configuration for PM related
issues folks end up reporting.

I'll check if that's needed. Probably just something that has mutated into
the old timer code somehow.

That just 0 from the interconnect target module here. But doing %pOF
on the np->parent should work here and for the clocksource.

OK I'll make them local.
Thanks for the review! I'll fix up the other issues you spotted too,
they all seem good comments.
