I think the limitations are more as follows:
Chip timer suffers cpu dvfs jitter can wakeup from cc7
T20 us-timer No Yes
T20 twd timer Yes No?
T30 us-timer No Yes
T30 twd timer Yes No?
T114 us-timer No Yes
T114 arch timer No Yes
T124 us-timer No Yes
T124 arch timer No Yes
T210 us-timer No Yes
T210 arch timer No No
T210 clk_m timer No Yes
right?
