This property supports the case that the system timer and CPU use different clock sources. This configuration is used sometimes for such as low power consumption. For example, the CPU clock frequency is 108MHz, and the system timer uses 27MHz, which is the CPU clock divided by 4. In this case, the CPU clock frequency is defined in the CPU node as follows clock-frequency = <108000000>; This property takes exponent of the power of 2. The relationship with the frequency division ratio is as following equation. division_ratio = 2^n n = log_2(division_ratio) Setting clk-divider to 2 specifies the system timer uses the clock that CPU clock frequency divided by (2^2=)4, or 27MHz. Division ratio constants can be found in the dt-bindings/timer/nuclei-systimer.h header file.
