Thanks Daniel. I agree you/timer folks and Michal/armsoc have to figure
out how to resolve this the easiest way. I'd almost say merging this all
through the timers tree might be the easiest. The conflict which might
occur in the Zynq dts file should be trivial since the patch is purely
additive.

But well, up to you.
