It is undoubtly a timer ack/program issue. There is no other problem,
the trace is quite clear: the timer is programmed, should tick, but
does not.

I had a look at the imx code again for other reasons, what may be also
missing in __ipipe_mach_acktimer function is a read of the timer status
register. As in:

void __ipipe_mach_acktimer(void)
{
        uint32_t tstat;

        if (timer_is_v2())
                tstat = __raw_readl(timer_base + V2_TSTAT);
        else
                tstat = __raw_readl(timer_base + MX1_2_TSTAT);

        gpt_irq_acknowledge();
}

And put that piece of code in mxc_timer_interrupt in the #ifndef
CONFIG_IPIPE section.

You may also want to issue a register read after programming the
compare register. As in:


void __ipipe_mach_set_dec(unsigned long delay)
{
         if (delay > mxc_min_delay) {
                 unsigned long tcmp;
 
                 if (!timer_is_v2()) {
                         tcmp = __raw_readl(timer_base + MX1_2_TCN) + delay;
                         __raw_writel(tcmp, timer_base + MX1_2_TCMP);
                         __raw_readl(timer_base + MX1_2_TCN);
                 } else {
                         tcmp = __raw_readl(timer_base + V2_TCN) + delay;
                         __raw_writel(tcmp, timer_base + V2_TCMP);
                         __raw_readl(timer_base + V2_TCN);
                 }
         } else
                 ipipe_trigger_irq(__ipipe_mach_timerint);
}
