Hi Arnd,

Again, thanks for your remarks. I'm attaching timer patch candidate for 
the third iteration.

Following your advices, I've changed following things:

- not abusing aliases (same goes to pinctrl driver)
- ranges for addressing particular timers (no change in code though, it's
   just up to the .dts implementor)
- *_RD and *_WR macros removed; whole this big-endian issue was a mistake,
   I guess I overdid it a bit trying to make my drivers as universal as
   fsl-edma driver...
- *_SET and *_RESET macros removed - they were giving false sense of
   security hiding potential race.

Any comments are welcome.
