 v4: New patch in this series. Corresponds to V2 patches 3-4-5 with
     added content.

 v5: - Edited PWM/watchdog DT bindings documentation to point to the new
       document.
     - Moved main document to
       Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/ingenic,tcu.txt

This should be evident from the git log. Just remove it.

clocksource and sched_clock are Linux specific and don't belong in DT. 
You should define properties of the hardware or use existing properties 
like interrupts or clocks to figure out which channel to use. For 
example, if some channels don't have an interrupt, then use them for 
clocksource and not a clockevent. Or you could have timers that run in 
low-power modes or not. If all the channels are identical, then it 
shouldn't matter which ones the OS picks.

This is creating an overlapping region with PWM which should be avoided. 
Are timers and PWM the same h/w? Then there should be one node (or maybe 
you can do 1 node per channel if each channel is independent (has its 
own register range, clocks, interrupts, etc.

Or the PWM node needs to exclude this region (by having 2 reg regions).

They are 2 or 3, and they are all the same (three parent IRQs for one 
irqchip).
It's explained in the hardware doc, should I add it here as well?

We already talked about that. All the TCU channels can be used for PWM.
The problem is I cannot know from the driver's scope which channels will
be free and which channels will be requested for PWM. You suggested 
that I
parse the devicetree for clients, and I did that in the V3/V4 patchset. 
But
it only works for clients requesting through devicetree, not from 
platform
code or even sysfs.

One thing I can try is to dynamically change the channels the system 
timer
and clocksource are using when the current ones are requested for PWM. 
But
that sounds hardcore...

I will use two regions then.

It can't work in this case because the pmw and the timer driver are not
communicating and the first one can stole a channel to the last one.

Yes, it is :/

Sorry for letting you wasting time and effort to write an overkill code
not suitable for upstream.

A very gross thought, wouldn't be possible to "register" a channel from
the timer driver code in a shared data area (but well self-encapsulated)
and the pwm code will check such channel isn't in use ?

+Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs Timer/Counter Unit devicetree bindings
+==========================================================
+
+For a description of the TCU hardware and drivers, have a look at
+Documentation/mips/ingenic-tcu.txt.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: Must be one of:
+  * ingenic,jz4740-tcu
+  * ingenic,jz4725b-tcu
+  * ingenic,jz4770-tcu
+- reg: Should be the offset/length value corresponding to the TCU registers
+- #address-cells: Should be <1>;
+- #size-cells: Should be <1>;
+- ranges: Should be one range for the full TCU registers area
+- clocks: List of phandle & clock specifiers for clocks external to the TCU.
+  The "pclk", "rtc", "ext" and "tcu" clocks should be provided.
+- clock-names: List of name strings for the external clocks.
+- #clock-cells: Should be <1>;
+  Clock consumers specify this argument to identify a clock. The valid values
+  may be found in <dt-bindings/clock/ingenic,tcu.h>.
+- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+  interrupt source. The value should be 1.
+- interrupt-parent : phandle of the interrupt controller.
+- interrupts : Specifies the interrupt the controller is connected to.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- ingenic,timer-channel: Specifies the TCU channel that should be used as
+  system timer. If not provided, the TCU channel 0 is used for the system timer.
+
+- ingenic,clocksource-channel: Specifies the TCU channel that should be used
+  as clocksource and sched_clock. It must be a different channel than the one
+  used as system timer. If not provided, neither a clocksource nor a
+  sched_clock is instantiated.
+
+
+Children nodes
+==========================================================
+
+
+PWM node:
+---------
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: Must be one of:
+  * ingenic,jz4740-pwm
+  * ingenic,jz4725b-pwm
+- #pwm-cells: Should be 3. See ../pwm/pwm.txt for a description of the cell
+  format.
+- clocks: List of phandle & clock specifiers for the TCU clocks.
+- clock-names: List of name strings for the TCU clocks.
+
+
+Watchdog node:
+--------------
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: Must be one of:
+  * ingenic,jz4740-watchdog
+  * ingenic,jz4780-watchdog
+- clocks: phandle to the RTC clock
+- clock-names: should be "rtc"
+
+
+OST node:
+---------
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: Must be one of:
+  * ingenic,jz4725b-ost
+  * ingenic,jz4770-ost
+- clocks: phandle to the OST clock
+- clock-names: should be "ost"
+- interrupts : Specifies the interrupt the OST is connected to.
