+* SPEAr ARM Timer
+
+** Timer node required properties:
+
+- compatible : Should be:
+	"st,spear-timer"
+- reg: Address range of the timer registers
+- interrupt-parent: Should be the phandle for the interrupt controller
+  that services interrupts for this device
+- interrupt: Should contain the timer interrupt number
+
+Example:
+
+	timer@f0000000 {
+		compatible = "st,spear-timer";
+		reg = <0xf0000000 0x400>;
+		interrupts = <2>;
