I see one problem here. The reason we changed the signature of
local_timer_setup() is in case where the local timer isn't
available on a specific SOC versions, the kernel will switch
to broad-cast timers.

This way the kernel built with CONFIG_LOCAL_TIMERS can still work
on SoCs where twd isn't supported.

Looks like your patch breaks that unless and until I am missing
something.

Regards,
Santosh
