doc: Add doc for the Ingenic TCU hardware
Add documentation about the Timer/Counter Unit (TCU) present in the Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs. The Timer/Counter Unit (TCU) in Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs is a multi-function hardware block. It features up to 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 JZ4770 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.

+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 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/mfd/ingenic,tcu.txt.
