No problemo. Too bad I didn't think to copy that description
in the first place!

Wouldn't you feel like going all-in and Signing-off? ;-)

One last nit (see below).

Is it possible that twd_local_timer_common_register() would be
called more than once?

twd_local_timer_register() guards against multiple invocations,
but twd_local_timer_of_register() doesn't (but maybe there is
some guarantee from OF, or it's invalid to have multiple
"arm,cortex-a9-twd-timer" strings in the DT).

Regards.
