I think the limitations are more as follows:

Chip	timer		suffers cpu dvfs jitter		can wakeup from cc7
T20	us-timer	No				Yes
T20	twd timer	Yes				No?
T30	us-timer	No				Yes
T30	twd timer	Yes				No?
T114	us-timer	No				Yes
T114	arch timer	No				Yes
T124	us-timer	No				Yes
T124	arch timer	No				Yes
T210	us-timer	No				Yes
T210	arch timer	No				No
T210	clk_m timer	No				Yes

right?

Peter.
