+ * This is a model of the "System counter" which is documented in
+ * the Arm SSE-123 Example Subsystem Technical Reference Manual:
+ * https://developer.arm.com/documentation/101370/latest/
+ *
+ * QEMU interface:
+ *  + Clock input "CLK": clock
+ *  + sysbus MMIO region 0: the control register frame
+ *  + sysbus MMIO region 1: the status register frame
+ *
+ * Consumers of the system counter's timestamp, such as the SSE
+ * System Timer device, can also use the APIs sse_counter_for_timestamp(),
+ * sse_counter_tick_to_time() and sse_counter_register_consumer() to
+ * interact with an instance of the System Counter. Generally the
+ * consumer device should have a QOM link property which the board
+ * code can set to the appropriate instance of the system counter.
