Yes, I did think so.

But some callbacks like :
+ static u64 ftm_read_sched_clock(void)
+ {
+         return ftm_readl(clksrc_base + FTM_CNT);
+ }

Used by :
+ sched_clock_register(ftm_read_sched_clock,....);

If they are encapsulated in a structure, and should the struct instance
be one global instance too ? I'm doubting whether will this make sense ?

Yes, the hardware limitation of the 'ps' is 0~7, and the counter register
Is only using the lower 16 bits.
If the 'freq' value is too big here, then the periodic_cyc may exceed 0xFFFF.

Or should I add some comment here ?


Thanks very much,
