Subject: timer-sp804: sched_clock: issue after first suspend

Hi Daniel/Thomas/All,

One of our arm64 SoCs have 4 instances of sp804 timers apart form the
architecture timer.

The arch timer (implemented in "drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c")
is being used as clocksource (-done with clocksource_register_hz
callback)
as well as sched_clock (arch_timer_read_counter - done with
sched_clock_register).

When sp804 driver gets probed, as its frequency (133 MHz) is higher
than that of the arch timer (25 MHz);
it overrides current sched_clock -> arch_timer_read_counter with sp804_read.
Here, the sp804_read is based on timer2( base + 0x20) of sp804. I see
timer1 is being used as clock_event_device.

*On such system, the current clocksource is "arch_sys_counter"  as
seen through sysfs, But the sched_clock is based on sp804_read.*

The problem arises when we suspend the system. After suspend, the
printk timestamp freezes, i.e., continues to show the same value as
printk appears to get its timestamp from sched_clock and timer2 gets
"reset" on suspend.

If LD = timerX_base + 0x0; VAL = timerX_base + 0x4; CTRL = timerX_base
+ 0x8 (X = 1 for timer1 and X=2 for timer2); then
Initially, following are values of timer2 registers: LD: 0xFFFFFFFF
VAL:0x35C108B2 CTRL:0x000000C2
After first suspend, following are values of timer2 registers: LD:
0x00000000 VAL:0xFFFFFFFF CTRL:0x00000020
So, the timer2 got reset..
[ Just for reference:
Initially, following are values of timer1 registers: LD: 0x00000000
VAL:0xFFFFFFFF CTRL:0x00000000
After first suspend, following are values of timer1 registers: LD:
0x00000000 VAL:0xFFFFFFFF CTRL:0x00000000
]

In order to re-init timer2, I have added resume callback in mmio
clocksource driver.
Following patch re-inits the timer being used for sched_clock.

This solves the printk timestamp freeze issue. Does anybody have any
suggestion to implement this differently
as I think this has to general issue with platforms having sp804 timers?
One thing that I can think of is, we can re-init the required timers
in ATF during resume sequence or is there any better way?

Apart from this, I see following prints at times, can the above
discussion be related to this behavior?
