Um... It shouldn't be happened...i will remove this.

Okay.

This will affect the accuracy of the timer. But not means the timer cannot work.
Maybe you are right, this pr_err should be a pr_warn.

Sorry, I'm not clear about clock API, you mean fsl_get_sys_freq()? Or ?

The timer operates on sys_ref_clk frequency during deep sleep. And The timer runs on
platform clock/2 during normal operation.

fsl_get_sys_freq() can get platform clock, but cannot get sys_ref_clk.

Mpic timer freq will be change when system going to deep sleep. So we need to recalculate the time.
