Could you use the generic 16550 earlycon support? (see CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE)

The CPU interrupt controller driver already does an IRQCHIP_DECLARE to
provide its compatible string, so can you just use irqchip_init()?

I think "clock-frequency" would be more standard, and the kernel would
then just halve it to find the frequency at which the cop0 count register
increments.

Really? Do you have any details of this, it sounds weird. Do you mean
only the cop0 compare interrupt won't work until count is set? If so (and
that sounds strange in itself) perhaps r4k_clockevent_init() ought to do
this rather than some platform/board code.

Could all this platform/board code be scrapped in favour of adding your
system to the generic platform? There's some documentation over here
which I hope to get in-tree soon:

https://paulburton.eu/kernel-docs/mips/generic-platform.html

You can also see some further examples of systems converted to the
generic platform which I hope to get into mainline over the next few
cycles over here:

https://git.linux-mips.org/cgit/linux-mti.git/log/

But the core of the generic platform is already there & ought to be
usable for a system like this.

Thanks,
Paul
