Hi,

In case of AM33xx family of devices, we do not have 32K Sync timer
(32K Counter) available; and the current implementation is based on
compile-time option, where clock-source is chosen by something like,

File - arch/arm/mach-omap2/timer.c

#ifdef CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER
static void __init omap2_gp_clocksource_init(int unused, const char *dummy)
{
...
}
#else
static void __init omap2_gp_clocksource_init(int unused, const char *dummy)
{
...
}
#endif


But in order to support multi-omap build, we must
make run-time decision to use the timer for kernel clock-source, either of -

  - DMTIMER
  - 32K Sync Timer

The DMTIMER is already migrated to the HWMOD framework, but 32K Timer code
has not yet migrated to it. So the question here is,

A series was sent to do that by Felipe last year, but we somehow forgot to rebase it on newer kernel and thus never reposted it.
