+STMicroelectronics STM32 Timer quadrature encoder
+
+STM32 Timer provides quadrature encoder to detect
+angular position and direction of rotary elements,
+from IN1 and IN2 input signals.
+
+Must be a sub-node of an STM32 Timer device tree node.
+See ../mfd/stm32-timers.txt for details about the parent node.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible:		Must be "st,stm32-timer-counter".
+- pinctrl-names: 	Set to "default".
+- pinctrl-0: 		List of phandles pointing to pin configuration nodes,
+			to set CH1/CH2 pins in mode of operation for STM32
+			Timer input on external pin.
+
+Example:
+	timers@40010000 {
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+		compatible = "st,stm32-timers";
+		reg = <0x40010000 0x400>;
+		clocks = <&rcc 0 160>;
+		clock-names = "int";
+
+		counter {
+			compatible = "st,stm32-timer-counter";
+			pinctrl-names = "default";
+			pinctrl-0 = <&tim1_in_pins>;
+		};
+	};
