OMAP3 devices may or may not have security features enabled. Security enabled
devices are known as high-secure (HS) and devices without security are known as
general purpose (GP).

For OMAP3 devices there are 12 general purpose timers available. On secure
devices the 12th timer is reserved for secure usage and so cannot be used by
the kernel, where as for a GP device it is available. We can detect the OMAP
device type, secure or GP, at runtime via an on-chip register. Today, when not
using DT, we do not register the 12th timer as a linux device if the device is
secure.

When using device tree, device tree is going to register all the timer devices
it finds in the device tree blob. To prevent device tree from registering 12th
timer on a secure OMAP3 device we can add a status property to the timer
binding with the value "disabled" at boot time. Note that timer 12 on a OMAP3
device has a property "ti,timer-secure" to indicate that it will not be
available on a secure device and so for secure OMAP3 devices, we search for
timers with this property and then disable them. Using the prom_add_property()
function to dynamically add a property was a recommended approach suggested by
Rob Herring [1].

I have tested this on an OMAP3 GP device and faking it to pretend to be a
secure device to ensure that any timers marked with "ti,timer-secure" are not
registered on boot. I have also made sure that all timers are registered as
expected on a GP device by default.

Sorry for responding so late, but why only omap34xx check here?
Isn't this applicable to all omap & non-omap devices?

It is only applicable to omap3 devices as far as omap is concerned.

By non-omap, you are referring to the AMxxx stuff?

Do AMxxx devices even support security (ie. secure boot and have secure
peripherals)? If not then this will work for AMxxx devices too.

Let me know if the changelog is not clear why this is needed for an
omap3 device.

Yes it does. 

AM33xx has 8 timers and Timer-0 is a secure timer. As in case of OMAP3, we 
do not even register timer-0 to kernel.

The changelog description is clear, but it is not only restricted to OMAP3.

Ok, however, please note that the omap3 timer 12 is a special case,
because on a non-secure device it is available for general purpose use
and only reserved for secure use on a secure device.

For omap4/5 timer 12 is always a secure timer and so we never register
it for any device (secure or non-secure) by using the "ti,timer-secure"
property in DT.

So, for AM33xx, is timer0 always reserved for secure used on non-secure
and secure devices? If so, then timer0 just needs to add the
"ti,timer-secure" property in device-tree file and it will not be
registered and no change is needed in the above code.

Not exactly, per the above it depends on whether the timer is always
secure for all device types or not.

I think you may be right here, AM33XX secure timer is similar to omap4, so
Just "ti,timer-secure" property should be enough.
