No that should not be needed for the 32k counter. We should be able
to do everything we want with CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP for the
32k counter.

We still need ti,timer-alwon for a while for gptimers 1 and 12 as
they are the only ones in the always-on domain. I guess that need
will eventually go away too once we have a proper interconnect
driver and are using genpd.
