since now we can reuse __omap_sync32k_timer_init() for OMAP3-like devices, we can safely remove __omap_gptimer_init().There are tons of boards out there that need to use the high frequency ocillator source with gptimer because of the beagleboard B4 and earlier issue #7. So we need to provide both options for the boards. Using the high frequency oscillator source blocks deeper idle states in hardware so those devices are usable.have a closer look, that hasn't changedOh right, you added the argument in the previous patch. Maybe update the description a bit to make that clear? I understood that we can only use the sync32k source now.. The __omap_sync32k_timer_init should not be called "sync32k" as that's TRM name for the always-on counter :)that's renamed on a follow-up patch, too ;-)
OK so then I suggest updating the description with something like "With __omap_sync32k_timer_init() now taking the clock source as a parameter, we no longer need __omap_gptimer_init(). Note that __omap_sync32k_timer_init() gets renamed in the later patches as it's no longer 32k source specific". Regards, Tony
