[PATCH v2 0/5] Reserve Timer Nodes to avoid clash with Remoteproc

[PATCH v2 0/5] Reserve Timer Nodes to avoid clash with Remoteproc

[Beleswar Padhi]

The remoteproc firmware like of R5F and DSPs in the MAIN voltage domain
use timers. At the same time, if Linux probes the timers, some
instability is observed while booting remote cores. Therefore, change
the status of the timer nodes to "reserved" to avoid any clash. 

This change is already incorporated for timer nodes in the MCU voltage
domain.

v2: Changelog:
- Split the changes into individual patches for each SoC to tag the
  correct offending commit for "Fixes:" tag.

* Udit
1) Add the correct clashing timer nodes for J7200 SoC.
2) Port these changes to board level dts files instead of SoC level dtsi files.

[PATCH v2 1/5] arm64: dts: ti: k3-j7200: Change timer nodes status to reserved

[Beleswar Padhi]

The remoteproc firmware like of R5F and DSPs in the MAIN voltage domain
use timers. Therefore, change the status of the timer nodes to
"reserved" to avoid any clash. Usage is described as below:

	+===================+==========================+
	|  Remoteproc node  |        Timer Node        |
	+===================+==========================+
	| main_r5fss0_core0 | main_timer0, main_timer2 |
	+-------------------+--------------------------+
	| main_r5fss0_core1 | main_timer1              |
	+-------------------+--------------------------+

This change is already incorporated for timer nodes in the MCU voltage
domain.

There is no DSP on this SOC.

For whole series,  on MCU domain R5 we have device-manager firmware,

which is needed to get SOC functional. So MCU domain timers are reserved.

So my suggestion will be to avoid above message

Please check Fixes tag once.

AFAIR, J722S uses am62p not am62
