There already has the following access interfaces:

static inline u32 ftm_readl(void __iomem *addr)
{
        if (priv->big_endian)
                return ioread32be(addr);
        else
                return ioread32(addr);
}

static inline void ftm_writel(u32 val, void __iomem *addr)
{
        if (priv->big_endian)
                iowrite32be(val, addr);
        else
                iowrite32(val, addr);
}

So I added the following code:

static cycle_t ftm_clocksource_read_up(struct clocksource *c)
{
        return ftm_readl(priv->clksrc_base + FTM_CNT) & 0xffff;
}

clocksource_mmio_init(.....,ftm_clocksource_read_up);

Is this okay ?

Thanks,
