Access to this coprocessor + counter is faster than access to same counter in mct mmio region. + It was discovered that mct and ARM arch timer are same underlying hardware + on some SoCs. + Only supported for Exynos5-based 32-bit systems which follow the ARMv7 + architecture. + Example 1: In this example, the IP contains two local timers, using separate interrupts, so two local timer interrupts have been specified, in addition to four global timer interrupts.
