PATCH v14 1/2 dt-bindings: pwm: Add Xilinx AXI Timer

This adds a binding for the Xilinx LogiCORE IP AXI Timer. This device is a "soft" block, so it has some parameters which would not be configurable in most hardware. This binding is usually automatically generated by Xilinx's tools, so the names and values of some properties should be kept as they are, if possible. In addition, this binding is already in the kernel at arch/microblaze/boot/dts/system.dts, and in user software such as QEMU.

The existing driver uses the clock-frequency property, or alternatively the /cpus/timebase-frequency property as its frequency input. Because these properties are deprecated, they have not been included with this schema. All new bindings should use the clocks/clock-names properties to specify the parent clock.

Because we need to init timer devices so early in boot, we determine if we should use the PWM driver or the clocksource/clockevent driver by the presence/absence, respectively, of #pwm-cells. Because both counters are used by the PWM, there is no need for a separate property specifying which counters are to be used for the PWM.

PATCH v14 2/2 pwm: Add support for Xilinx AXI Timer

This adds PWM support for Xilinx LogiCORE IP AXI soft timers commonly found on Xilinx FPGAs. At the moment clock control is very basic: we just enable the clock during probe and pin the frequency. In the future, someone could add support for disabling the clock when not in use.

Some common code has been specially demarcated. While currently only used by the PWM driver, it is anticipated that it may be split off in the future to be used by the timer driver as well.

This driver was written with reference to Xilinx DS764 for v1.03.a [1].

---

Changes in v14:
- 1GHz -> 1 GHz
- Clarify that we will give a very wrong estimate for rate >= 1 GHz
- Remove duplicate blank line
- Remove forward declaration of xilinx_timer_common_init (which no longer exists).

Changes in v13:
- Clamp period/duty_cycle by assuming rate is at most U32_MAX
- Expand comment in xilinx_timer_get_period
- Note that the 100% duty cycle calculations may be wrong for very high clock rates

Changes in v12:
- Add a comment to the timer driver about #pwm-cells
- Combine/expand comments on rounding in xilinx_pwm_apply

Changes in v11:
- Add comment about why we test for #pwm-cells
- Clarify comment on generate out signal
- Rename pwm variables to xilinx_pwm
- Round like Uwe wants...
- s/xilinx_timer/xilinx_pwm/ for non-common functions

Changes in v10:
- Fix compilation error in timer driver

Changes in v9:
- Refactor "if { return } else if { }" to "if { return } if { }"
- Remove drivers/clocksource/timer-xilinx-common.c from MAINTAINERS
- Remove xilinx_timer_common_init and integrate it into xilinx_timer_probe

Changes in v8:
- Drop new timer driver; it has been deferred for future series

Changes in v7:
- Add dependency on OF_ADDRESS
- Fix period_cycles calculation
- Fix typo in limitations

Changes in v6:
- Capitalize error messages
- Don't disable regmap locking to allow inspection of registers via debugfs
- Prevent overflow when calculating period_cycles
- Remove enabled variable from xilinx_pwm_apply
- Swap order of period_cycle range comparisons

Changes in v5:
- Allow non-zero #pwm-cells
- Correctly set duty_cycle in get_state when TLR0=TLR1
- Elaborate on limitation section
- Perform some additional checks/rounding in apply_state
- Remove xlnx,axi-timer-2.0 compatible string
- Rework duty-cycle and period calculations with feedback from Uwe
- Switch to regmap to abstract endianness issues
- Use more verbose error messages

Changes in v4:
- Don't use volatile in read/write replacements. Some arches have it and some don't.
- Put common timer properties into their own struct to better reuse code.
- Remove references to properties which are not good enough for Linux.

Changes in v3:
- Add clockevent and clocksource support
- Remove old microblaze driver
- Rewrite probe to only use a device_node, since timers may need to be initialized before we have proper devices. This does bloat the code a bit since we can no longer rely on helpers such as dev_err_probe. We also cannot rely on device resources being free'd on failure, so we must free them manually.
- We now access registers through xilinx_timer_(read|write). This allows us to deal with endianness issues, as originally seen in the microblaze driver. CAVEAT EMPTOR: I have not tested this on big-endian!

Changes in v2:
- Add comment describing device
- Add comment explaining why we depend on !MICROBLAZE
- Add dependencies on COMMON_CLK and HAS_IOMEM
- Cast dividends to u64 to avoid overflow
- Check for over- and underflow when calculating TLR
- Check range of xlnx,count-width
- Don't compile this module by default for arm64
- Don't set pwmchip.base to -1
- Ensure the clock is always running when the pwm is registered
- Remove debugfs file :l
- Rename TCSR_(SET|CLEAR) to TCSR_RUN_(SET|CLEAR)
- Report errors with dev_error_probe
- Set xilinx_pwm_ops.owner
- Use NSEC_TO_SEC instead of defining our own
- Use TCSR_RUN_MASK to check if the PWM is enabled, as suggested by Uwe
