Hi Linus,

Sorry for the late reply.

This macro does the same job as CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE. The device
name from the ACPI timer table is matched with all the registered
timer controllers and matching initialisation routine is invoked.

Actually I have a fat patch renaming CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE()
to TIMER_OF_DECLARE() and I think this macro, if needed, should
be named TIMER_ACPI_DECLARE().

The reason is that "clocksource" is a Linux-internal name and this
macro pertains to the hardware name in respective system
description type.

That make sense to me too, I will update in next version if
this patch is still needed.


+#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
+#define CLOCKSOURCE_ACPI_DECLARE(name, compat, fn)                     \
+       static const struct acpi_device_id __clksrc_acpi_table_##name   \
+               __used __section(__clksrc_acpi_table)                   \
+                = { .id = compat,                              \
+                    .driver_data = (kernel_ulong_t)fn }
+#else
+#define CLOCKSOURCE_ACPI_DECLARE(name, compat, fn)
+#endif
This hammers down the world to compile one binary for ACPI
and one binary for device tree. Maybe that's fine, I don't know.

This is a problem we can have some discussion on it.
I prefer mutually exclusive ACPI and DT support.

Thanks
Hanjun
