Adding a separate timer DT node, creates a new set of compatibility issues for existing platforms. I am fine updating my series to have separate timer DT node but do we want to go in this direction ?
Even if ARM has a separate timer DT node, the timers are still part of the CPU. It depends on how we see the DT bindings aligning with actual HW.

This is not a new problem we are facing. Even in the ARM world, the DT bindings grew organically over time based on newer platform requirements.
Now that we have a platform which does not want the time C3STOP feature, we need to first come-up with DT bindings to support this platform instead of temporarily disabling features which don't work on this platform.
