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!
