+* ARM architected timer
+
+ARM cores may have a per-core architected timer, which provides per-cpu timers,
+or a memory mapped architected timer, which provides up to 8 frames with a
+physical and optional virtual timer per frame.
+
+The per-core architected timer is attached to a GIC to deliver its
+per-processor interrupts via PPIs. The memory mapped timer is attached to a GIC
+to deliver its interrupts via SPIs.
+
+** CP15 Timer node properties:
+
+- compatible : Should at least contain one of
+ "arm,armv7-timer"
+ "arm,armv8-timer"
+
+- interrupts : Interrupt list for secure, non-secure, virtual and
+ hypervisor timers, in that order.
+
+- clock-frequency : The frequency of the main counter, in Hz. Optional.
+
+Example:
+
+ timer {
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-timer",
+ "arm,armv7-timer";
+ interrupts = <1 13 0xf08>,
+ <1 14 0xf08>,
+ <1 11 0xf08>,
+ <1 10 0xf08>;
+ clock-frequency = <100000000>;
+ };
+
+** Memory mapped timer node properties:
+
+- compatible : Should at least contain "arm,armv7-timer-mem".
+
+- clock-frequency : The frequency of the main counter, in Hz. Optional.
+
+- reg : The control frame base address.
+
+Note that #address-cells, #size-cells, and ranges shall be present to ensure
+the CPU can address a frame's registers.
+
+A timer node has up to 8 frame sub-nodes, each with the following properties:
+
+- frame-number: 0 to 7.
+
+- interrupts : Interrupt list for physical and virtual timers in that order.
+ The virtual timer interrupt is optional.
+
+- reg : The first and second view base addresses in that order. The second view
+ base address is optional.
+
+- status : "disabled" indicates the frame is not available for use. Optional.
+
+Example:
+
+ timer@f0000000 {
+ compatible = "arm,armv7-timer-mem";
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ ranges;
+ reg = <0xf0000000 0x1000>;
+ clock-frequency = <50000000>;
+
+ frame@f0001000 {
+ frame-number = <0>
+ interrupts = <0 13 0x8>,
+ <0 14 0x8>;
+ reg = <0xf0001000 0x1000>,
+ <0xf0002000 0x1000>;
+ };
+
+ frame@f0003000 {
+ frame-number = <1>
+ interrupts = <0 15 0x8>;
+ reg = <0xf0003000 0x1000>;
+ status = "disabled";
+ };
+ };
