I don't think omap3_beagle_init_rev is even called when
the timer is set?

But even if it was, this is not a good fix because of the
dependency issues it causes to mux and gpio framework in
omap3_beagle_rev_init.

The best way to fix this is to set a separate machine ID
for the working beagle boards like I commented earlier.
It allows just setting the .timer based on that, the rest
of the code can be shared.
