Marc Gonzalez 194444c52e ARM: 8441/2: twd: Don't set CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP unconditionally
In 5388a6b266 ("ARM: SMP: Always enable clock event broadcast support")
Russell noted that "the TWD local timers are unable to wake up the CPU
when it is placed into a low power mode".

However, some platforms do not stop the TWD block in low-power mode,
and can thus use the TWD timer in one-shot mode, without setting up
a broadcast device.

Make the driver check for the "always-on" boolean property, and set
the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP flag accordingly.

* ARM Timer Watchdog
ARM 11MP, Cortex-A5 and Cortex-A9 are often associated with a per-core
Timer-Watchdog (aka TWD), which provides both a per-cpu local timer
and watchdog.
The TWD is usually attached to a GIC to deliver its two per-processor
interrupts.
** Timer node required properties:
- compatible : Should be one of:
"arm,cortex-a9-twd-timer"
"arm,cortex-a5-twd-timer"
"arm,arm11mp-twd-timer"
- interrupts : One interrupt to each core
- reg : Specify the base address and the size of the TWD timer
register window.
Optional
- always-on : a boolean property. If present, the timer is powered through
an always-on power domain, therefore it never loses context.
Example:
twd-timer@2c000600 {
compatible = "arm,arm11mp-twd-timer"";
reg = <0x2c000600 0x20>;
interrupts = <1 13 0xf01>;
};
** Watchdog node properties:
- compatible : Should be one of:
"arm,cortex-a9-twd-wdt"
"arm,cortex-a5-twd-wdt"
"arm,arm11mp-twd-wdt"
- interrupts : One interrupt to each core
- reg : Specify the base address and the size of the TWD watchdog
register window.
Example:
twd-watchdog@2c000620 {
compatible = "arm,arm11mp-twd-wdt";
reg = <0x2c000620 0x20>;
interrupts = <1 14 0xf01>;
};
