The patch looks great to me, thanks for doing this work
I'm surprised you were able to convert the A10 and F1C100S as well,
since they don't have the arch timer.
It seems we only use the fixed 24MHz clock on the A10 for the timer and
the interrupt controller doesn't have a parent clock, so it works. The
A10 timer can be fed with one PLL though and would require that
dependency, but I guess no one ever cared. It's easy enough to revert if
someone complains anyway.
