Yes, I have observed that. The arch/twd timer DT extraction code doesn't
expect per CPU DT node and on that basis only, initial patch was
adding single timer node outside cpu node. Benoit comment was that
the DT should describe the way hardware is and probably the DT
extraction code should be updated accordingly.

Here too I have to keep mask for both CPUs because of the current DT
extraction code. I some how forgot to bring that discussion to your
notice. I can update the DT files to go back to the single timer
node if the plan is not to duplicate the per CPU resources.

Benoit,
Whats your take on it ?
