The set of peripherals used by this C7x core depends on the firmware
running on the core. Long term we should think on a better way of
communicating this from firmware to Linux. Same goes for the next
two patches.

For now since these timers are always used by all firmware, this
will be safe to do, but for other peripherals we will need that
better solution.
