It seems to me that this is not going to be a temporary problem (or at
least will be around for quite a while). So, I think we can as well just
look for ref_clk directly.

Here, I think we should use "ti,da850-timer" so we can change the fixed
clock we are looking for based on the SoC. At a minimum, we should have
"ti,da850-timer" in the DT along with "ti,davinci-timer".

BTW, I noticed that "ti,davinci-timer" is not documented. I think we
need to add a binding documentation too.

Thanks,
