That's not currently the case. I assume you mean we will in later
patches? If so, please make that clear in the commit message.

How? What specifically happens?

We don't currently assign ARCH_TIMER_PHYS_NONSECURE_PPI to
arch_timer_uses_ppi, so I assume a later patch changes this. This change
should be folded into said patch; it doesn't make sense in isolation.

Thanks,
Mark.
