Hello, I wrote:
It matters only for clock source (well I think) that's why I suggested to rewrite a clock source driver only for this platform...
Yeah, this platform certainly *needs* another clocksource than the
Not necessarily so -- we could use count1 *exclusively* as clocksource after some setup, i.e. setting its comparator to all ones, hooking its IRQ and enabling the counting.

And this platform also *needs* a separate clocksource driver as well
I meant to say "clockevent" here. :-)
since the PNX8550 counters *do* support auto-reaload mode here -- in fact, this seems to be the only supported mode from the manual excerpt cited here:
