RISC-V privileged architecture v1.10 defines a real-time counter,
exposed as a memory-mapped machine-mode register - mtime. mtime must
run at constant frequency, and the platform must provide a mechanism
for determining the timebase of mtime. The mtime register has a
64-bit precision on all RV32, RV64, and RV128 systems.

Different platform may have different implementation of the mtime
block hence an API riscv_get_time() is required by this driver for
platform codes to hide such implementation details. For example,
on some platforms mtime is provided by the CLINT module, while on
some other platforms a simple 'rdtime' can be used to get the timer
counter.

With this timer driver the U-Boot timer functionalities like delay
works correctly now.

<title>timer: Remove DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag in various drivers</title>

<id>d7a184d4a7d2706f091a3b708060f48a325234ef</id>
<content type='text'>
When a driver declares DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag, it wishes to be
bound before relocation. However due to a bug in the DM core,
the flag only takes effect when devices are statically declared
via U_BOOT_DEVICE(). This bug has been fixed recently by commit
"dm: core: Respect drivers with the DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag in
lists_bind_fdt()", but with the fix, it has a side effect that
all existing drivers that declared DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag will
be bound before relocation now. This may expose potential boot
failure on some boards due to insufficient memory during the
pre-relocation stage.

To mitigate this potential impact, the following changes are
implemented:

- Remove DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag in the driver, if the driver
  only supports configuration from device tree (OF_CONTROL)
- Keep DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag in the driver only if the device
  is statically declared via U_BOOT_DEVICE()
- Surround DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag with OF_CONTROL check, for
  drivers that support both statically declared devices and
  configuration from device tree

Currently the comments of several APIs (eg: dm_init_and_scan()) say:

@pre_reloc_only: If true, bind only drivers with the DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC
flag. If false bind all drivers.

The 'Pre-Relocation Support' chapter in doc/driver-model/README.txt
documents the same that both device tree properties and driver flag
are supported.

However the implementation only checks these special device tree
properties without checking the driver flag at all. This updates
lists_bind_fdt() to consider both scenarios.

<title>x86: tsc: Introduce config option for early timer frequency</title>

So far the TSC timer driver supports trying hardware calibration first
and using device tree as last resort for its running frequency as the
normal timer.

However when it is used as the early timer, it only supports hardware
calibration and if it fails, the driver just panics. This introduces
a new config option to specify the early timer frequency in MHz and
it should be equal to the value described in the device tree.

Without this patch, the travis-ci testing on QEMU x86_64 target fails
each time after it finishes the 'bootefi selftest' as the test.py see
an error was emitted on the console like this:

  TSC frequency is ZERO
  resetting ...
  ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

It's strange that this error is consistently seen on the travis-ci
machine, but only occasionally seen on my local machine (maybe 1 out
of 10). Since QEMU x86_64 target enables BOOTSTAGE support which uses
early timer, with this fix it should work without any failure.

<title>Enable CONFIG_TIMER_EARLY with bootstage</title>

<id>97d20f69f53e7586394e48805f25f23d9a3ebaa8</id>

In initr_bootstage() we call bootstage_mark_name() which ends up calling
timer_get_us(). This call happens before initr_dm(), which inits driver
model.

On x86 we set gd-&gt;timer to NULL in the transition from board_init_f()
to board_init_r(). See board_init_f_r() for this assignment. So U-Boot
knows there is no timer available in the period immediately after
relocation.

On x86 the timer_get_us() call is implemented as calls to get_ticks() and
get_tbclk(). Both of these call dm_timer_init() to set up the timer, if
gd-&gt;timer is NULL and the early timer is not available.

However dm_timer_init() cannot succeed before initr_dm() is called.

So it seems that on x86 if we want to use CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE we must enable
CONFIG_TIMER_EARLY. Update the Kconfig to handle this.

Note: On most architectures we can rely on the pre-relocation memory still
being available, so that gd-&gt;timer pointers to a valid timer device and
everything works correctly. Admittedly this is not strictly correct since
the timer device is set up by pre-relocation U-Boot, but normally this is
fine. On x86 the 'CAR' (cache-as-RAM) memory used by pre-relocation U-Boot
disappears in board_init_f_r() and any attempt to access it will hang.
This is the reason why we must mark the timer as invalid when we get to
board_init_f_r().
