Hi Daniel,


Thanks for your patch, this can fix the boot issue.

This should use tab to indent.

I think we should keep this one, or at least disable irq first in
mtk_timer_enable_irq. MT8173 firmware didn't use this GPT, but I think
it is a good ideat to do it just in case firmware in some other platform
use it.
