[PATCH v3 07/20] target/mips/cp0_timer: Document TIMER_PERIOD origin |
Date: |
Sat, 10 Oct 2020 22:43:06 +0200 |
TIMER_PERIOD value of '10 ns' can be explained looking at
commit 6af0bf9c7c3doc, where the CPU frequency is 200 MHz
and CP0 default count rate is half the frequency of the
CPU. Document that.
