+Description:
+CNTFRQ_EL0 register shall be programmed with the value of the system timer
+frequency.
+
+Rationale:
+Xen reads the CNTFRQ_EL0 register to get the value of system timer frequency.
+
+Comments:
+While there is a provision to get this value by reading the "clock-frequency"
+dt property [2], the use of this property is strongly discouraged.

+Assumption of Use
+=================
+
+Xen is making several assumptions on the status of the platform or on some
+functions being present and operational. For example, Xen might assume that
+some registers are set.
+Anybody who wants to use Xen must validate that the platform it is used on
+(meaning the hardware and any software running before Xen like the firmware)
+fulfils all the AoU described by Xen.

 The following is the skeleton for a requirement.
