Errata Titles:
i103: Delay needed to read some GP timer, WD timer and sync timer registers
      after wakeup (OMAP3/4)
i767: Delay needed to read some GP timer registers after wakeup (OMAP5)

Description (i103/i767):
If a General Purpose Timer (GPTimer) is in posted mode (TSICR [2].POSTED=1),
due to internal resynchronizations, values read in TCRR, TCAR1 and TCAR2
registers right after the timer interface clock (L4) goes from stopped to
active may not return the expected values. The most common event leading to
this situation occurs upon wake up from idle.

GPTimer non-posted synchronization mode is not impacted by this limitation.

Workarounds:
1). Disable posted mode
2). Use static dependency between timer clock domain and MPUSS clock domain
3). Use no-idle mode when the timer is active

Workarounds #2 and #3 are not pratical from a power standpoint and so
workaround #1 has been implemented. Disabling posted mode adds some CPU overhead
for configuring the timers as the CPU has to wait for the write to complete.
However, disabling posted mode guarantees correct operation.

Please note that it is safe to use posted mode for timers if the counter (TCRR)
and capture (TCARx) registers will never be read. An example of this is the
clock-event system timer. This is used by the kernel to schedule events however,
the timers counter is never read and capture registers are not used. Given that
the kernel configures this timer often yet never reads the counter register it
is safe to enable posted mode in this case. Hence, for the timer used for kernel
clock-events, posted mode is enabled by overriding the errata for devices that
are impacted by this defect.

For drivers using the timers that do not read the counter or capture registers
and wish to use posted mode, can override the errata and enable posted mode by
making the following function calls.

	omap_dm_timer_override_errata(timer, OMAP_TIMER_ERRATA_I103_I767);
	omap_dm_timer_enable_posted(timer);

Both dmtimers and watchdogs are impacted by this defect this patch only
implements the workaround for the dmtimer. Currently the watchdog driver does
not read the counter register and so no workaround is necessary.

Confirmed with Vaibhav Hiremath that this bug also impacts AM33xx devices.

Please note that now calls to omap_dm_timer_enable_posted() may not able posted
mode if the device is impacted by this errata. Therefore, for system-timers
check to see if the intended posted mode matches the actual. If it does not then
there is a configuration error in the system timers posted configuration.

Looks sensible considering alternative WAs.
