That's true in the perfect world :/ Some version has u-boot letting the
timer with irq enabled, therefore as soon as request_irq is done, an irq
fires and leads to a kernel panic.
On the other side, this timer is not used on the other rockchip version
than rk3399 because of no need of a broadcast timer, so removing these
two lines may be acceptable.
Can try the changes with another board, eg rk3288 (and forcing to use
this timer). Can you do the test and confirm it does not break with
different version of u-boot ?
Thanks!
