QERROR() macro is using priv so this code now fails to build.

[ Please compile these timer changes with PXA3XX_GCU_DEBUG and
  PXA3XX_GCU_DEBUG_TIMER defined. ]

Also please port your changes over fbdvev-for-next tree as
currently this patch doesn't apply (fbdev tree contains
"video: fbdev: pxa3xx_gcu: Use setup_timer and mod_timer"
cleanup).
