also known as SysTick.

Please include v7M in the name. System timer sounds very generic. This
is the only timer architecturally defined IIRC, so perhaps just
"armv7m_systick".

Ok, let's go for "armv7m_systick".

Same here.

Agree, will be in the v2.

+* ARM System Timer
+
+ARMv7-M includes a system timer, known as SysTick. Current driver only
+implements the clocksource feature.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : Should be "arm,armv7m-systick"
+- reg       : The address range of the timer
+- clocks     : The input clock of the timer

You may want to consider supporting "clock-frequency" here too. In
more simple chips you may just have fixed clocks and may want to run a
kernel with COMMON_CLK disabled for size savings.

Ok, I will add this option in the v2.

+systick: system-timer {

This should be "systick: timer at e000e010".

Same for your dts file.

Right, it will be fixed in the v2.

Thanks for the review,
Maxime
