When the timer is configured in posted mode, we need to check the write- posted status register (TWPS) before writing to the register. We now check TWPS after the write starting with commit 52762fbd1c47 ("clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Add clockevent and clocksource support"). For example, in the TRM for am571x the following is documented in chapter "22.2.4.13.1.1 Write Posting Synchronization Mode": "For each register, a status bit is provided in the timer write-posted status (TWPS) register. In this mode, it is mandatory that software check this status bit before any write access. If a write is attempted to a register with a previous access pending, the previous access is discarded without notice." The regression happened when I updated the code to use standard read/write accessors for the driver instead of using __omap_dm_timer_load_start(). We have__omap_dm_timer_load_start() check the TWPS status correctly using __omap_dm_timer_write().
