Hi Grygorii,
First time I'm seeing this patch, so I have a few questions, mostly
related to the commit message:

Well, SoC-B has the GT *and* the DT node, so what is the problem with
enabling it for SoC-B? If there are reasons not to use the Global Timer
on SoC-B, surely a better option would be to mark it in DT with status = "disabled";

What about disabling the DT node?
Not sure I properly understand the problem you are trying to solve here.

I'm OK with the way you have changed ARM_GLOBAL_TIMER from a sticky config
option to a selectable one, but I would like more details on the problem
this was causing you.
