Actually pdata hook in this case is used only in 1 place, and is OMAP1
specific so I felt its better to clean it up.

Can you elaborate a bit more on why it breaks? I have no way of testing
OMAP1 without hardware.

What difference is it to set MOD_CONF_CTRL_1 in omap1's
arch_initcall(omap1_dm_timer_init) versus doing so later?
