The timer interrupts specified in commit 3652e2741f42 ("ARM: dts:
da850: Add clocks") are wrong but since the current timer code
hard-codes them, the bug was never spotted.

This patch must go into stable since, once we introduce a proper
clocksource driver, devices with buggy device tree will stop booting.
Is this the case where someone uses device-tree from a stable tree and
kernel from latest mainline?
Well, if someone wants to use an old device tree and a newer kernel,
then it'll be broken anyway. If we get it to stable then at least the
fixed device tree will work in the future. That was my reasoning.
