+BMIPS DeviceTree Booting
+------------------------
+
+  Some bootloaders only support a single entry point, at the start of the
+  kernel image.  Other bootloaders will jump to the ELF start address.
+  Both schemes are supported; CONFIG_BOOT_RAW=y and CONFIG_NO_EXCEPT_FILL=y,
+  so the first instruction immediately jumps to kernel_entry().
+
+  Similar to the arch/arm case (b), a DT-aware bootloader is expected to
+  set up the following registers:
+
+         a0 : 0
+
+         a1 : 0xffffffff
+
+         a2 : Physical pointer to the device tree block (defined in chapter
+         II) in RAM.  The device tree can be located anywhere in the first
+         512MB of the physical address space (0x00000000 - 0x1fffffff),
+         aligned on a 64 bit boundary.
+
+  Legacy bootloaders do not use this convention, and they do not pass in a
+  DT block.  In this case, Linux will look for a builtin DTB, selected via
+  CONFIG_DT_*.
+
+  This convention is defined for 32-bit systems only, as there are not
+  currently any 64-bit BMIPS implementations.

+Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs Timer/Counter Unit hardware
+===============================================
+
+The Timer/Counter Unit (TCU) in Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs is a multi-function
+hardware block. It features up to eight channels, that can be used as
+counters, timers, or PWM.
+
+- JZ4725B, JZ4750, JZ4755 only have six TCU channels. The other SoCs all
+  have eight channels.
+
+- JZ4725B introduced a separate channel, called Operating System Timer
+  (OST). It is a 32-bit programmable timer. On JZ4760B and above, it is
+  64-bit.
+
+- Each one of the TCU channels has its own clock, which can be reparented to three
+  different clocks (pclk, ext, rtc), gated, and reclocked, through their TCSR register.
+
+    - The watchdog and OST hardware blocks also feature a TCSR register with the same
+      format in their register space.
+    - The TCU registers used to gate/ungate can also gate/ungate the watchdog and
+      OST clocks.
+
+- Each TCU channel works in one of two modes:
+
+    - mode TCU1: channels cannot work in sleep mode, but are easier to
+      operate.
+    - mode TCU2: channels can work in sleep mode, but the operation is a bit
+      more complicated than with TCU1 channels.
+
+- The mode of each TCU channel depends on the SoC used:
+
+    - On the oldest SoCs (up to JZ4740), all of the eight channels operate in
+      TCU1 mode.
+    - On JZ4725B, channel 5 operates as TCU2, the others operate as TCU1.
+    - On newest SoCs (JZ4750 and above), channels 1-2 operate as TCU2, the
+      others operate as TCU1.
+
+- Each channel can generate an interrupt. Some channels share an interrupt
+  line, some don't, and this changes between SoC versions:
+
+    - on older SoCs (JZ4740 and below), channel 0 and channel 1 have their
+      own interrupt line; channels 2-7 share the last interrupt line.
+    - On JZ4725B, channel 0 has its own interrupt; channels 1-5 share one
+      interrupt line; the OST uses the last interrupt line.
+    - on newer SoCs (JZ4750 and above), channel 5 has its own interrupt;
+      channels 0-4 and (if eight channels) 6-7 all share one interrupt line;
+      the OST uses the last interrupt line.
+
+Implementation
+==============
+
+The functionalities of the TCU hardware are spread across multiple drivers:
+
+===========  =====
+clocks       drivers/clk/ingenic/tcu.c
+interrupts   drivers/irqchip/irq-ingenic-tcu.c
+timers       drivers/clocksource/ingenic-timer.c
+OST          drivers/clocksource/ingenic-ost.c
+PWM          drivers/pwm/pwm-jz4740.c
+watchdog     drivers/watchdog/jz4740_wdt.c
+===========  =====
+
+Because various functionalities of the TCU that belong to different drivers
+and frameworks can be controlled from the same registers, all of these
+drivers access their registers through the same regmap.
+
+For more information regarding the devicetree bindings of the TCU drivers,
+have a look at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/ingenic,tcu.yaml.
