Subject: Re: [PATCH V4 0/2] timer: add imx tpm timer support

The Timer/PWM Module (TPM) supports input capture, output compare, and
the generation of PWM signals to control electric motor and power
management applications. The counter, compare and capture registers
are clocked by an asynchronous clock that can remain enabled in low
power modes. TPM can support global counter bus where one TPM drives
the counter bus for the others, provided bit width is the same.

This patch only adds the timer support. PWM would be added later.

Hi Dong,

Not relevant to this patch - just an observation!

Just came across this thread and took a look at the hardware. I see some
of the timers (particularly the flextimers) support quadrature encoder
modes.  Just thought I'd point you at some on going discussions on the
IIO list (linux-iio at vger.kernel.org) trying to improve the interface for
such devices.  Might be of interest (or not depending on whether support
for that functionality is of interest!)

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the info.
I will find time to check it later.
