0x40 is acps_tmr, and looks fine.

I honestly donât see anything at 0x8 for either blocks that looks like this. For the new block bit 0 is enabling and bit 1 enabled interrupts.

APQ8064 would be the apcs_tmr block variant which is unchanged. MSM8916 as well as IPQ4019 would use the new kpss variant.

I went with block names I found internally here, but I will be the first to admit I am terrible at names. The old block name for APQ was CPU0_ACPS_TMR (where really the watchdog is a subset of a timer block), and on the IPQ4019 itâs called APCS_KPSS_WDT and itâs really just a watchdog block.

I kept the same driver because the registerâs currently in use were compatible. By the way, I tested this on an IPQ806x and IPQ4019 both new and old blocks.

Let me know if you need more details.
