Well omap_dm_timer_init_one is a static omap2plus specific
implementation that can then be then passed as a function pointer
to the dmtimer device driver in later patches.

There's no need for omap_dm_timer_request_specific after the later
patches. It gets removed in the PM_DEBUG sysfs interface removal patch.
