So I understand MCT and Arch Timer use the same hardware timer and
there were issues when the MCT interface reset it at boot and during
resume and the Arch Timer consumers didn't expect it. In this thread there
were links [1] to a patch to have the MCT not writing the timer anymore,
thus allowing the two interfaces to co-exist.

This patch was applied in commit 1d80415db64b. So no problem is to be
expected when using both interfaces at the same time.

I can see  exynos5250 got its Arch Timer definition for KVM:

- From the description of commit 2b7da98870bc
ARM: dts: Add architected timer nodes for exynos5250
[...]
This is required by KVM.

So is there something else blocking adding this definition for 542x/5800
considering its effect is enabling KVM ?
