The tegra20 timer driver has never been used. We should fix the dtsi file later. >>> >>> Hi Joseph, >>> >>> So is T132 HW actually incompatible with the tegra20-timer?

But Tegra132 actually has 10 timers which are exactly the same as Tegra30. So it should backward compatible with "nvidia,tegra30-timer", which is tegra_wdt driver now. And Tegra132 should never use this driver. >> >> The Tegra timer driver should only be used on Tegra20/30/210, three platforms only.

If yes, then we probably would want to expose all available timers. It looks to me that right now tegra20-timer exposes only a single-shared timer to the system [please correct me if I'm wrong]. Wouldn't make sense at least to give a timer per CPU core? >
No, only one timer driver works at a time. ( see /proc/timer_list to check which timer is working.)

Yes, it's correct. the timer-tegra20 only provides a single-shared timer. And yes, ,it should provide a timer per CPU core. But that is another task, this patch only introduce the timer support for Tegra210. Others that originally from timer-tegra20 driver still remain the same.
Thanks, Joseph
