Right, ir-rx51 has not yet been converted to DT. Additionally it
depends !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, since it requires <plat/dmtimer.h>.

I remember a patchset adding a omap-pwm driver using dmtimers. If
that was added to the kernel, ir-rx51 could probably be switched to
the PWM API + hrtimer API instead of depending on the dmtimer API.
At the end not much is gained, though, since then the PWM driver
would probably require the dmtimer API.
