Agree, but... (below)

Agree but that is the default behavior set by dm timer framework:

@@ -134,22 +134,13 @@ static void omap_dm_timer_reset(struct
omap_dm_timer *timer)
 int omap_dm_timer_prepare(struct omap_dm_timer *timer)
 {
...
-       ret = omap_dm_timer_set_source(timer, OMAP_TIMER_SRC_32_KHZ);
...

All clocks requested are set to 32 KHz first, even with the current
approach, there exists another API to set a new source.

To be honest I don't know why the clocks are set to 32 KHz first,
maybe the default call path for users should be:

omap_dm_timer_request
omap_dm_timer_set_source (new explicit call)
omap_dm_timer_start

And remove setting the source to 32 KHz by default in omap_dm_timer_request.

Omar
