Yup - and the patch is a lot smaller.

I don't think it makes sense to use the clk API for those timers -
it's rather unclear from the manuals where they get their clocks
from - or even what the magic bits in the system controller do in
terms of switching their clock source.

I've not found the magic bits which switch their clock source on
Versatile Express tiles yet either (which is why we're using the
V2M baseboard timers).
