The global timer is a 64-bit free running +up-counter and can generate 4 interrupts when the counter reaches one of the +four preset counter values. The CPU local timers are 32-bit free running +down-counters and generate an interrupt when the counter expires. There is +one CPU local timer instantiated in MCT for every CPU in the system. + +Required properties: + +- compatible: should be "samsung,exynos4210-mct". + (a) "samsung,exynos4210-mct", for mct compatible with Exynos4210 mct. + (b) "samsung,exynos4412-mct", for mct compatible with Exynos4412 mct. + +- reg: base address of the mct controller and length of the address space + it occupies. + +- interrupts: the list of interrupts generated by the controller.
