+MOXA ART timer
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible : Should be "moxa,moxart-timer"
+- reg : Should contain registers location and length
+- interrupts : Should contain the timer interrupt number
+- clocks : Should contain phandle for APB clock "clkapb"
+
+Example:
+
+ timer: timer@98400000 {
+ compatible = "moxa,moxart-timer";
+ reg = <0x98400000 0x42>;
+ interrupts = <19 1>;
+ clocks = <&clkapb>;

4.2 Notify memory hot-add event by hand
------------
-In some environments, especially virtualized environment, firmware will not
-notify memory hotplug event to the kernel. For such environment, "probe"
-interface is supported. This interface depends on CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE.
-
-Now, CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE is supported only by powerpc but it does not
-contain highly architecture codes. Please add config if you need "probe"
-interface.
+On powerpc, the firmware does not notify a memory hotplug event to the kernel.
+Therefore, "probe" interface is supported to notify the event to the kernel.
+This interface depends on CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE.
+
+CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE is supported on powerpc only. On x86, this config
+option is disabled by default since ACPI notifies a memory hotplug event to
+the kernel, which performs its hotplug operation as the result. Please
+enable this option if you need the "probe" interface for testing purposes
+on x86.
Probe interface is located at
/sys/devices/system/memory/probe
