"A kind of 64bit mode timer" is very vague. Please describe more the 
timer you want to support in this driver and split dt-bindings, so Rob 
can ack it independently.

Especially, explain why 64bits is needed here, when the clocksource 
wraps up, etc ...

64bits is not free. Is it really needed ? How long before it wraps up in 
32bits ?

Nope, sp804_timer_disable() should be called with the right parameter.

Ok, so before going further, do the following:

1. Create a structure:

struct sp804_clockevent {
	struct clockevent clkevt;
	void __iomem *base;
	void __iomem *ctrl;
	int width;
};

2. Add a function to return the sp804_clockevent from a clkevt

struct sp804_clockevent sp804_timer(struct clockevent *clkevt)
{
	return container_of(clkevt, struct sp804_clockevent, clkevt);
}

3. Change the different function to use:
	struct sp804_clockevent -> base | ctrl
	
4. And then at init time, fill the structure with the right info.

5. Make sure, 64bits clocksource is really needed and if it is possible 
to share a common timer_read()

Thanks !
