Acked.

This loops allows to read a "coherent" 64 bits value from two 32 bits
registers that are handled separatly by the hardware. This is just a
precaution to avoid reading value while overflowing the 32 bits low
value.

Lets say the counter contains the following values:
cv1 = 0
cv0 = 0xffffffff

If we read cv1, and then cv0, we might potentially read cv1 = 0 and cv0
= 0 due to counter being incremented instead ov cv1 = 1, cv0 = 0. So
actually, this check with cv1 will almost never be true and will
potentially just happens if reading at the exact same time cv0
overflows.

I can downgrade to using a 32 bits counter if you want. Please note
that the same logic is used in Linux driver.

Since we "must" use the Linux bindings, this should be done this way.
In linux, it is done the same way:

static const struct of_device_id atmel_tcb_of_match[] = {
	...
	{ .compatible = "atmel,sama5d2-tcb", ...},
	{ /* sentinel */ }
};

static int __init tcb_clksrc_init(struct device_node *node)
{
[...]
	tc.regs = of_iomap(node->parent, 0);
	if (!tc.regs)
		return -ENXIO;
[...]
	match = of_match_node(atmel_tcb_of_match, node->parent);
	if (!match)
		return -ENODEV;
[...]
}

Ok, that would be a good thing indeed.

The same thing is done in Linux also (see above). This is caused by the
specific bindings.
