Description
-----------
The Nvidia tegra194 HTE provider driver implements two GTE
(Generic Timestamping Engine) instances: 1) GPIO GTE and 2) LIC
(Legacy Interrupt Controller) IRQ GTE. Both GTE instances get the
timestamp from the system counter TSC which has 31.25MHz clock rate, and the
driver converts clock tick rate to nanoseconds before storing it as timestamp
value.
The Nvidia tegra HTE provider also known as GTE (Generic Timestamping Engine)
driver implements two GTE instances: 1) GPIO GTE and 2) LIC
(Legacy Interrupt Controller) IRQ GTE. Both GTE instances get the timestamp

converts clock tick rate to nanoseconds before storing it as timestamp value.
GPIO GTE
--------
This GTE instance timestamps GPIO in real time. For that to happen GPIO
needs to be configured as input. The always on (AON) GPIO controller instance
supports timestamping GPIOs in real time and it has 39 GPIO lines. The GPIO GTE
and AON GPIO controller are tightly coupled as it requires very specific bits
to be set in GPIO config register before GPIO GTE can be used, for that GPIOLIB
adds two optional APIs as below. The GPIO GTE code supports both kernel
and userspace consumers. The kernel space consumers can directly talk to HTE
subsystem while userspace consumers timestamp requests go through GPIOLIB CDEV
framework to HTE subsystem.

kernel space consumers can directly talk to HTE subsystem while userspace
consumers timestamp requests go through GPIOLIB CDEV framework to HTE
subsystem. The hte devicetree binding described at
``Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timestamp`` provides an example of how a
consumer can request an GPIO line.

LIC (Legacy Interrupt Controller) IRQ GTE
-----------------------------------------
This GTE instance timestamps LIC IRQ lines in real time. There are 352 IRQ

This GTE instance timestamps LIC IRQ lines in real time. The hte devicetree

one-to-one mapping with IRQ GTE provider, consumers can simply specify the IRQ
number that they are interested in. There is no userspace consumer support for
