This is a new BUG which has not made it to errata list yet. It will
make it eventually.

Indeed.

Actually the BUG is really related to timers running on 32KHz and only
in that case such a WA is needed. BTW, the WA is suggested by hardware
team.

L4PER and ABE should not be set default....

EMIF and L3 are covered as part of the errata's. Most if these static
deps issues never worked properly and people ended up hacking
like disable L3 when display ON etc etc.

If we forget about the latest timer issues doing the round only EMIF and L3
deps with different initiators were needed. L4PER was because of UART
idle mode issue which I fixed recently. At least with that fix, L4PER should
be killed. Will be good to take the latest findings on the static deps issues
and update above list.

These timer OCP sync issue has really created a big mess again...
Timer is 3 domains. AON, ABE and L4pER and the WA suggested is
static dep as if it is free. There is no other WA.
